Product Definition:
GCIB are beams of ions that are produced by the collision of clusters of gas atoms. The importance of GCIB is that they can be used to probe the surface and interior structure of materials with great precision.
Sputter Beams:
Sputter beams are used in gas cluster ion beams (GCIB) for the deposition of thin films. GCIBs are widely used in research and development activities to study various properties of materials such as magnetic, optical, electrical and electronic, catalytic or semiconductor among others. The most important application is the production of single-crystal silicon wafers which find wide use in solar cells fabrication processes.
Analytical Beams:
An analytical beam is a narrow, intense beam of particles or waves that is used to analyze and examine materials. It can be categorized as ionizing or non-ionizing depending on the energy of the particle or wave used in it. Analytical beams are widely used in various industries such as healthcare, food & beverages, automotive and chemical among others for numerous applications such as surface analysis, material testing and forensics among others.
Application Insights:
The others application segment held the largest market share of over 30% in 2017. The other applications include X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high polymer material analysis, and others. The GCIBs are extensively used for analyzing various materials including polymers, ceramics, metals, and semiconductors by providing an ion beam source that can produce highly focused electrons with a very low secondary electron emission (SEE) making it ideal for material characterization.
High polymer material analysis is expected to be the fastest growing application segment from 2018 to 2030 owing to its ability to provide information on molecular structure which is of immense importance in numerous industries such as automotive & transportation and packaging where plastics are used as components or materials. GCIBs also offer flexibility in choice of analyzer geometry due to their capability of producing high quality images by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This enables users greater control over sample preparation procedures during analysis thereby resulting in enhanced data accuracy.
Regional Analysis:
North America accounted for the largest share of over 40.0% in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of gas cluster ion beams manufacturers and increasing adoption by research institutes and hospitals for medical diagnosis. The U.S., being one of the developed countries, has a well-established healthcare infrastructure which is expected to promote market growth during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period due to rising demand from end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, energy & power, food science & technology etc.; especially in emerging economies such as China and India; where technological advancements are taking place at an exponential rate compared with other developed regions across globe (Gobet 2016). Moreover, growing awareness among consumers regarding health benefits associated with GCIBs will further propel regional product demand (Kumar et al., 2015).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for GCIB in semiconductor and materials processing industries for nanofabrication and surface modification.
- Growing demand from medical industry for cancer treatment and diagnosis.
- Rising research funding towards development of new applications of GCIB technology across various industries.
- Increasing number of collaborations between academic institutions and industrial players to develop new applications of GCIB technology.
