Product Definition:
An ion milling machine is a type of particle accelerator used in physics and materials science to produce very small particles. The importance of ion mills lies in their ability to create particles with very low atomic weights, down to a single atom. This makes them important tools for studying the structure and behavior of matter on the atomic level. Ion mills can also be used to create new materials with unique properties.
Cross-Section Milling:
Cross-section milling is a process of creating several cross-sectional shapes from a single work piece by using high speed and high power tools. It is used to produce components with complex geometries such as channels, spirals, and turns. Cross section milling offers higher production rates in lesser time along with the ability to machine more parts in a given amount of time compared to other machining processes available in the market today.
Flat Surface Milling:
Flat surface milling is a process of removing material from a flat surface by cutting the material at an angle. The machine used for this process consists of one or more rotating grinding wheels mounted on a frame, which is known as the headstock. These grinding wheels are fixed to spindles with either bearings or without bearings as per requirement. Spindle speeds can be varied within certain limits depending upon the application requirements using handwheel or electric motor control system respectively.
Application Insights:
The application segment includes semiconductor manufacturing, geological institutes, forensic laboratories, medical research institutes, food analysis and others. The semiconductor manufacturing segment dominated the global ion milling machine market in terms of revenue in 2017. This is attributed to the rising demand for integrated circuits from various end-use industries such as telecommunication & ITU sector.
The demand for microelectronics has increased significantly across all income groups since the early 1980s when people started using personal computers and advanced technology devices such as mobile phones. The growing use of these devices has led to an increase in production volumes which eventually resulted into a higher demand for processing equipment thereby fueling up growth of this industry globally over last few decades (Kumar et al., 2015).
Regional Analysis:
North America ion milling machine market is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. The growth of this market can be attributed to increasing demand for ion mills from various end-use industries such as semiconductors, food analysis, and others. In addition, growing research activities in the field of nanotechnology are also anticipated to propel product demand in North America during the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific region is estimated to witness exponential growth over the next eight years owing to rapid industrialization coupled with rising investments by major players in this region for developing new products and manufacturing processes using ions as an alternative energy source.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronics industry
- Rising demand for nanomaterials in various end-use industries
- Growing popularity of ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) technology
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology
- Increasing research and development spending by end-use industries
