The LT wafer segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% during 2018-2030.
Product Definition:
SAW grade wafers are those that have been specifically designed to be used in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. They typically have very low levels of defects and are highly polished, which makes them ideal for use in these types of devices.
LT Wafer:
LT Wafer is a type of semiconductor wafer that has low-temperature polycrystalline silicon as its base material. It offers several benefits over SAW grade wafers, such as lower cost and better performance in high-frequency applications. LT Wafers are used for manufacturing RF devices, such as GSM/CDMA cell phones and 2G & 3G wireless communication devices.
Quartz Wafer:
Quartz Wafer is a thin slice of rock, usually from the outer core of a mountain. The material has high insulating properties which make it ideal for use in SAW (Silicon Avon Wafer) grade wafers. These are used as substrates in semiconductor devices and electronic components such as integrated circuits (IC), flat panel displays, LED drivers and lightings, solar cells etc.
Application Insights:
Electronic devices was the largest application segment in 2016 and accounted for over 40% of the global SAW grade wafer market. The growth can be attributed to growing demand for semiconductors in various applications including mobile phones, tablets, flat panels, and solar cells. Moreover, increasing use of SAW as a material in manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCB) is expected to drive product demand further.
Semiconductors held the largest share owing to its usage as an insulating material between conductive traces on PCBs which are used in various electronic products such as integrated circuits (IC), digital storage devices (SDD), magnetic disk drives (MDD), hard disk drives (HDD) among others.
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 rising demand for SAW grade wafers from end-use industries such as electronics, optoelectronics, power generation, aerospace & defense and others.
The growing electronic industry in Asia Pacific has led to a significant rise in the requirement for semiconductors which are manufactured using SAW technology. Furthermore, increasing foreign direct investments coupled with favorable government policies towards manufacturing semiconductors have contributed significantly towards regional growth.
North America is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period owing to high demand from end-use industries such as aerospace & defense and medical devices manufacturing sector that require precision components made using saw blades produced by SAW process technologies.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices in automotive and telecommunication industries
- Growing number of applications for SAW grade wafers in medical and defense sectors
- Rising popularity of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Proliferation of 4G/LTE networks across the globe
- Technological advancements in SAW technology
