Market Overview:
The global ceramic wafer hands market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor wafers and flat panel displays (FPDs). In addition, the growing adoption of semiconductor wafer transfer robots and FPD transfers robots is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global ceramic wafer hands market can be segmented into alumina wafer hands, silicon carbide wafer hands, and cordseed wafer hands. Alumina Wafers Hands are projected to account for a major share of the global ceramic WAFER HANDS MARKET in terms of value due their high strength-to-weight ratio as well as thermal stability.
Product Definition:
A ceramic wafer hand is a component of a semiconductor fabrication process used to transfer thin films of silicon dioxide (SiO2) from the wafer surface to the fingers of a glove-like ceramic hand. The SiO2 film is transferred in an oxygen plasma discharge that etches away the exposed silicon leaving a conformal layer on top of the wafer surface.
Alumina Wafer Hands:
Alumina Wafer Hands, also known as Aluminum Oxide Wafers or AlOxWafers are thin pieces of alumina ( aluminum oxide ) which is a highly porous and non-toxic solid material. It has the highest surface area among all solids materials. The material has huge potential in various applications including solar cells, electronic devices, energy storage devices and water treatment systems.
Silicon Carbide Wafer Hands:
Silicon carbide wafer hands is a new technology that has been developed to overcome the limitations of conventional silicon wafers in the manufacturing of ceramic chips. The primary objective behind developing this technology was to provide higher flexibility and adaptability for high-volume production. Wafer hands are used as an alternative or supplement to silicon wafers in various applications such as MEMS fabrication, thin-film deposition, and 3D integrated circuits (IC) manufacturing.
Application Insights:
Semiconductor wafer transfer robots were the largest application segment in 2017 and accounted for over 40% of the overall revenue share. These systems are used to transfer semiconductor wafers from storage tanks to processing equipment, which is a critical step in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The use of ceramic materials for this application has several benefits such as high strength, excellent thermal shock resistance and low friction coefficient as compared to other materials used for these applications.
The FPD transfers robots segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from foundry customers across various industry verticals including microelectronics, data storage devices and consumer electronics among others. Ceramic-based FPDs offer higher precision than their metal counterparts due its smaller size allows better resolution during robot positioning stages thereby resulting in improved quality output products with enhanced margins.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising investments by foreign players in China, which has a high production capacity for semiconductors. In addition, increasing demand for consumer electronics products such as smartphones and tablets is anticipated to drive product demand over the forecast period.
The U.S., Germany, South Korea, Japan are some of the major markets that contributed significantly toward regional growth owing to growing adoption of ceramic wafers across various application segments including electronics manufacturing industry and solar cell manufacturing industry along with their respective associated industries such as automotive & transportation equipment sector etcetera (ITC 2015).
Europe accounted for more than 25% share in terms of revenue due to an increase in robot installations at several semiconductor foundries across Europe coupled with growing FPD transfer machine sales volume resulting into higher revenue generation from robot installation applications segment (ITC 2015).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices
- Rising demand from the optoelectronics and photonics sector
- Growing application of ceramic wafers in medical implants and prostheses
- Increasing use of ceramic wafers in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication
- Proliferation of nanotechnology
