Global Semiconductor Spin Spray Processor Equipment Market 2014-2018: The Adoption of Semiconductor Spin Spray Processor Equipment Increasing
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 5:25AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ndfhz4/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Semiconductor Spin Spray Processor Equipment Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Semiconductor Spin Spray Processor Equipment market will grow at a CAGR of 2.31 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for the integration and miniaturization of semiconductor devices. The Global Semiconductor Spin Spray Processor Equipment market has also been witnessing the emergence of 3D ICs. However, the cyclic nature of the Semiconductor industry could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space are Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co. Ltd., Lam Research Corp., SEMES Co. Ltd., and Tokyo Electron Ltd. The other vendors mentioned in the report are Akrion Systems LLC, Applied Materials Inc., and Shibaura Mechatronics Corp. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: In the recent past, the market has witnessed the emergence of a new method of chip packaging known as 3D IC. 3D IC refers to the stacking of multiple chips onto a single stack, thereby occupying less space in the device. During their manufacturing process, 3D ICs undergo numerous processes such as film deposition, etching, annealing, and cleaning. These steps are also repeated in a normal semiconductor process, but the number of steps increases significantly with the transition of circuits to a more complex 3D architecture. With the increase in the number of steps, the probability of cross-contamination during various manufacturing processes increases. Therefore, to remove undesired materials from the surfaces of wafers or components, semiconductor spin spray processor equipment is required. Hence, the emergence of this new type of chip packaging is likely to provide semiconductor spin spray processor equipment manufacturers with new business opportunities in the coming years, thereby propelling the growth of the Global Semiconductor Spin Spray Processor Equipment market.

Global and Chinese Semiconductor Equipment Industry Report, 2013-2014
M2 - Fri Feb 14, 2:56AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h4sxrs/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Semiconductor Equipment Industry Report, 2013-2014" report to their offering. After two years of recession, the semiconductor equipment market is projected to achieve growth in 2014. In 2011, the semiconductor equipment market size hit a record high of USD43.532 billion, but it witnessed a drop by 15.2% in 2012 and a further decline by 8.1% in 2013. The reduction came mainly as the steep decrease of backlog orders from North America and South Korea. Notably, the contracted orders from North America resulted largely from the glooming PC market and Intel's reduction of capital expenditure for equipment, while the shrinkage of orders from South Korea was heavily duel to the suspension of investment in DRAM. In 2014, the driving force of the semiconductor equipment market is mainly sourced from foundry and memory. In particular, foundry began to step into 20nm domain, while memory is ushering in 3D era. In the era of 20nm, semiconductor vendors employ two routes: double/multiple patterning and EUV. Double/multiple patterning is more technologically advanced than EUV, although it means substantial cost rise in manufacturing and equipments, especially for etching equipments. EUV can cut the manufacturing and equipments cost significantly, albeit EUV itself costs as high as USD100 million. But counted by the total cost, 14nm wafer equipped with EUV technology is roughly 40% lower than that equipped with multiple patterning technology. However, there are many hurdles for EUV remained to be addressed. One of them is light source. Multiple e-beam direct write is well low-efficiency, thus failing to meet the standard for practical use. Equipment vendors have failed to catch up with the development of foundry, especially the ASML which almost monopolize the global lithography market, so foundry will have to slow down their pace towards advanced node. The cost of multiple patterning may be OK for customers, but it is not the case when it comes to the cost of triple patterning. Nevertheless, this cannot prevent industrial players from making continued research, so the procurement of equipments still keeps growing. Taiwan became the largest semiconductor equipment market. Taiwan-based industrial players such as TSMC and UMC make bulk buying of advanced equipments. The estimate shows that Taiwan semiconductor equipment market size will bag USD10.99 billion by 2014 and that the figure by 2015 will slightly decline to USD10.88 billion.
