In addition, the growing demand for advanced packaging solutions is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
KrF and ArF photoresists are used to pattern microelectronics devices. They are important because they can produce very small patterns with high resolution.
KrF Photoresist:
KrF photoresist is a type of photoresist used in the manufacturing of semiconductor wafers for KrF and ArF semiconductors. It has applications in integrated circuits (IC), flat panel displays, silicon wafers, and solar cells. The KrF photoresist market is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to its increasing demand from the electronics industry as it helps reduce impurities during production resulting in improved yield and performance efficiency.
ArF Photoresist:
ArF photoresist is a type of photoresist used in ArF (Argon-fluoride) laser production. It is also known as argon-fluoride or fluorine gas phase liquid. The chemical formula for ArF photoresist is Hf(SiO)4.
Application Insights:
8 inch wafer was the largest application segment and accounted for a revenue share of over 40.0% in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the increasing use of photoresist solutions for various processes such as multi-layer interconnect, layer isolation, patterning and masking during semiconductor fabrication at an industrial level. KrF photoresist is widely used in 8 inch wafer processing due to its superior characteristics such as high contrast ratio between exposed & unexposed parts on resist layer, enhanced resolution compared to ArF photoresist and low cost when compared with other types of resists like YAG or ArI.
The 12 inch wafer segment is expected register the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2030 owing to factors such as increased production capacity in China by Renesas Electronics Corporation which has fueled market growth over there along with strong demand from foundry customers worldwide who are fabricating advanced chips using this process technology combination.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region dominated the global KrF and ArF photoresist market in 2017. The presence of key manufacturers such as Fujitsu, Panasonic Corporation, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has driven the regional demand for photoresists. In addition to this, favorable government policies promoting investments in semiconductor manufacturing are expected to drive the regional market over the forecast period.
The growth of China's solar energy industry is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for foreign players operating within Asia Pacific region owing to cheap labor costs and availability of raw materials at a cheaper price compared to developed countries such as Japan and India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronics industry is expected to drive the growth of KrF and ArF photoresist market.
- Rising demand for semiconductor devices is also anticipated to fuel the growth of this market during the forecast period.
- Growing number of advanced packaging applications is projected to boost the demand for KrF and ArF photoresist over the next few years.
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology is expected to create new opportunities for this market in near future.
