Fab Materials Market 2017-2021
’ provides an in-depth analysis of
the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market
research report also includes up to date analysis and forecasts for
various market segments and all geographical regions.

 
Fab materials are chemicals that are used in semiconductor
fabrication processes such as etching, oxidation, deposition, and
planarization. The increasing use of industrial gases in
semiconductor materials market is a key factor boosting the adoption
of fab materials, thereby driving the growth of the market.

Based on the material type, the report categorizes the global fab
materials market into the following segments:

  • Silicon
  • Electronic gases
  • Photomasks
  • Photoresist ancillaries
  • Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP)
  • Others

The top three revenue-generating type segments in the global fab
materials market are discussed below:

Silicon

The fab materials market by silicon held a majority share in 2016
and is expected to grow at a moderate rate through the forecast period.
The extensive use of silicon as a semiconductor material for discrete
devices is expected to drive the market growth

says Hitesh
Bhatia, a lead analyst at Technavio for metals
and minerals
research.

Silicon wafers are the fundamental building materials for
semiconductors, which are vital in the manufacture of all electronic
goods such as computers, telecommunications products, and consumer
electronics. They are used in the manufacturing of IC chips for
electronic goods such as computers, laptops, smartphones, and other
electronic devices.

Electronic gases

Electronic gases are the second most popular type of fab materials, used
widely in the manufacture of semiconductors, ICs, LCDs, printed circuit
boards, and LEDs. There are more than 30 electronic gases, which include
both pure gases and mixtures of different gases. Some of the prominent
electronic gases are nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, and helium. Electronic
gases are used for oxidation, deposing, etching, sputtering, inerting,
and doping processes. The increase in consumption of nitrogen and helium
is expected to boost the growth of the market segment.

Photomasks

The demand for photomasks is expected to rise swiftly from
captive mask shops in the coming years, making it the fastest growing
segment of the fab materials market
,”
says Hitesh.

Photomasks are plates that allow light to pass through a definite path.
Currently, many semiconductor manufacturers prefer to produce the
products in-house. The market for photomasks is expected to grow at a
high rate because of advanced technology feature sizes and the increased
production of photomasks in APAC.

The top vendors highlighted by Technavio’s research analysts in this
report are:

  • Air Liquide
  • Hitachi Chemical
  • Fuji Incorporated
  • The Linde Group
  • Solvay
