Market Overview:
The global silicon reclaim wafers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor and electronic products, and the growing trend of miniaturization in these products. In addition, the increasing adoption of reclaimed silicon wafers in solar photovoltaic (PV) cells is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global silicon reclaim wafers market can be segmented into production wafer, test wafer, and abandoned wafer. The production-wafer segment is expected to account for a major share of this market during the forecast period owing to its high usage in semiconductor manufacturing processes. Test-wafer usage is growing rapidly due to increased demand from fabless companies for product qualification purposes.
Product Definition:
Silicon Reclaim Wafers are used to reclaim processed silicon wafers. The reclaimed silicon can be reused in subsequent fabrication steps, resulting in less wasted material and a lower cost for the final product. Silicon Reclaim Wafers are an important part of semiconductor manufacturing, and their use helps to keep costs down while still producing high-quality products.
Production Wafer:
Production wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material, which is used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits (IC). It accounts for less than one-tenth of 1% of the total volume in an IC. The production process involves slicing huge ingots into very thin wafers and then handling these slices with high precision. Semiconductor manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductors Manufacturing Co., Ltd., United Microelectronics Corp., and Jabil Inc.
Test Wafer:
Test wafers are used in silicon reclaim wafers market for testing the purity of semiconductor materials. These test wafers are also referred to as control or reference wafer, which is a thin slice of a semiconductor material such as silicon. The major application areas include electronic devices and integrated circuits (IC), photovoltaic (PV) cells, and solar cells among others.
Application Insights:
The other application segment includes applications such as solar cells, superalloys, and catalysts. Other applications of the silicon wafer include use in electronic products such as mobile phones and laptops. The growing demand for smartphones is anticipated to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.
The production wafer is used in various stages of integrated circuit fabrication including epitaxial layer deposition, contact formation and device packaging. The production wafers are also used for testing purposes during development of a new product or an advanced technology version of a product that has been introduced previously. These types of testing are carried out at different levels by semiconductor companies to ensure quality control before mass manufacturing begins. Production silicon reclaimed wafers market was valued at USD 1,227 million in 2017 owing to increasing demand from global IC manufacturers including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Micron Technology Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the dominant regional market in 2017 and accounted for over 45% of the overall revenue share. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from key application sectors such as semiconductors, electronic products, and others. China is projected to remain a major contributor in terms of both production and consumption across this region.
The growth can also be attributed to rising investments by various players across this region who are looking forward for cost-effective alternatives while disposing their old stock or second hand wafers.
North America emerged as a significant consumer due to high production levels observed within U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices: The global semiconductor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2016 to 2020. This is driven by the increasing demand for semiconductor devices in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial sectors.
- Growing trend of miniaturization: The trend of miniaturization in electronic devices is driving the need for smaller and more powerful chipsets. This is resulting in an increase in the demand for silicon reclaim wafers.
- Rising number of fabless companies: A growing number of fabless companies are outsourcing their manufacturing requirements to contract manufacturers due to the high capital investment required for setting up a chip fabrication facility. This is leading to an increase in demand for silicon reclaim wafers from contract manufacturers worldwide.
