Product Definition:
A plasma etch system is a device used to produce a plasma to etch away material from a workpiece. The importance of the plasma etch system for wafer processing is that it can provide an efficient and consistent means of removing material from the surface of a workpiece. This can be important for creating features on the surface of a workpiece, such as in microfabrication or semiconductor manufacturing.
Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP):
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a chemical process used for etching wafers in integrated circuits (IC). It utilizes an electric field to separate the silicon from the wafer. The ICP system uses a plasma as an etching medium which is generated by introducing gas into a chamber containing silica sand and metal salts.
Reactive Ion Etching (RIE):
Reactive ion etching (RIE) is a low-temperature process used to remove material from a wafer. It utilizes an accelerated gas of charged particles to remove material by chemical reactions and physical abrasion. The accelerated gas comprises mainly of ions, which are made up of atoms or molecules with extra electron pairs. These ions travel at high speed in the direction of the wafer surface and react with the materials present there by removing them from the surface gradually.
Application Insights:
The semiconductor application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for integrated circuits from various end-use applications such as telecommunication, computing, automotive and healthcare. Furthermore, increasing adoption of 3D IC packaging will further propel the industry growth over the coming years.
Electronics and microelectronics is one of the fastest growing application segments owing to rising demand for advanced products with enhanced performance capabilities across all major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. Plasma etch systems are used extensively in electronic manufacturing facilities due to their ability provide clean surfaces on which devices can be mounted without any additional masks or steps required during device packaging or testing procedures post completion of assembly operations at plant level.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing adoption of advanced technologies, presence of major players, and high demand for electronic products. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to rapid technological advancements and increased focus on developing microelectronics. Moreover, growing demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones and tablets is also anticipated to drive regional market growth over the next eight years.
The European region accounted for a significant share in terms of revenue in 2017 due to high manufacturing volume associated with semiconductor devices including computer chipsets, memory chipsets, digital signal processors (DSPs), application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), etc., which are being manufactured using plasma etch techniques at various foundries across Europe. In addition, presence of key industry participants such as Infineon Technologies AG; Lamina Technology LLC; Maxim Integrated Products Inc.; Micron Technology Inc.; Skyworks Solutions Holdings Inc.
