Global Epitaxial (Epi) Wafer Industry Outlook


Product Definition:


Epitaxial (Epi) Wafer is a thin, semiconductor wafer that has been grown on top of a thicker, previously deposited wafer known as the substrate. The epitaxial layer is usually very thin, with a thickness of only a few micrometers. Epitaxial growth allows for the formation of high quality crystalline films with well-defined and uniform crystal orientations. This results in improved electronic and optical properties over those exhibited by films grown by other methods.


50mm to 100mm:


50mm to 100mm is a range of wafer thicknesses which are used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. The 50 mm to 100 mm wafer thickness category includes both, single-crystal and multi-crystal (polycristalline) epitaxial wafers.


100mm to 150mm:


100mm to 150mm is a range of wafer thicknesses which are used in the epitaxial (epi) wafer market. Epitaxial (Epi)wafers are thin films grown on single crystal silicon(SCS), and their properties such as low-temperature operation, high electrical performance, high switching speed and large memory can be utilized for various applications including MEMS devices, opto-electronic devices or integrated circuits.


Application Insights:


The microelectronics industry accounted for the largest share in 2015 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Growing demand for epitaxial wafer from microelectronics industry is attributed to increasing product utilization in various applications such as integrated circuits, photovoltaic cells, photonics components and other electronic devices.


Epitaxial (epi) wafers are widely used in solar cell manufacturing due to their high efficiency at low costs. The growing popularity of solar energy among residential and commercial buildings has increased the demand for these products resulting in a higher market share of this application segment. In addition, growing awareness regarding renewable energy sources coupled with rising government support & initiatives towards adoption of clean energy sources is expected to propel growth over the forecast period.


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 increasing investments in microelectronics, photovoltaics, and photonics industries. In addition, favorable government policies promoting research & development activities are anticipated to drive industry expansion over the coming years.


The European market for epi wafers is expected witness significant growth due to growing demand from microelectronics industry as a result of technological advancements coupled with high manufacturing volume per year for these products. Moreover, presence of major players such as GALILEO Semiconductor Ltd., Infineon technologies along with key Epitaxial Wafer Manufacturing (EWM) facilities would also help boost regional growth over the next eight years.


Growth Factors:


  • Increasing demand for semiconductor devices from the consumer electronics and telecommunications sectors
