Product Definition:
A 300mm (12 inch) silicon wafer is a type of semiconductor wafer that is widely used in the electronics industry. Silicon wafers are typically used to make integrated circuits, which are small electronic devices that include a number of transistors.
Epitaxial Wafer:
Epitaxial Wafer, also known as epitaxy or exfoliation, is a thin layer of single-crystal silicon which is grown on the wafer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The CVD process includes high temperature and pressure environment which helps in producing high quality of single crystal silicon. Epitaxial layer can be removed from the wafer by mechanical or chemical methods to get desired patterning on Silicon Wafers.
Polished Wafer:
Polished wafer is a thin slice of a semiconductor material such as silicon, which has been treated or polished to give it a very high surface finish. Polished wafers are used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits (IC), also known as chips.
Application Insights:
Memory was the largest application segment in the 300mm (12 inch) silicon wafer market and accounted for a revenue share of over 40% in 2017. The increasing demand for semiconductors, primarily memory chips is expected to drive growth over the forecast period. 300mm (12 inch) silicon wafer manufacturers are investing more in R&D activities related to new product development to cater to growing demand from various end-use industries including mobile phones, consumer electronics, and data storage devices among others.
Logic is another significant application segment where 300mm (12 inch) silicon wafers are used as an active material for fabricating integrated circuits. Growing usage of field-programmable gate array technology has increased the need for logic components with enhanced performance characteristics which is anticipated to further propel growth during next eight years through 2030.
Regional Analysis:
The global 300mm (12 inch) silicon wafer market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. The North American region dominated the market in 2017 owing to the high demand for memory chips and rapid technological advancements in microelectronics. Furthermore, increasing research & development activities by various companies are expected to drive product adoption over the forecast period.
The European region is anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to a rise in consumer electronics production and sales as well as data centers’ expansion plans across several countries such as Germany, France and U.K., which will lead to increased demand for semiconductor products such as 300mm (12-inch) silicon wafers over this period of time.
