Global Wafer-level Packaging Equipment Market 2014-2018
M2 - Thu Feb 27, 5:32AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/35r9bx/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Wafer-level Packaging Equipment Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. To sustain the competition in the market, semiconductor manufacturers are continuously introducing innovative products, reducing manufacturing costs, and improving product efficiency. For instance, they have introduced chips that are available in smaller sizes; the sizes of these chips have reduced from 45 nanometers to 22 nanometers. They have also introduced chips with high dielectric constant materials and fin-fet or tri-gate transistors. In addition, DRAM memory manufacturers are currently employing 3x node production technology and 2x node production technology for the production of DRAMs. As these innovations require highly complicated wafer-level packaging equipment, the increase in the number of innovations by semiconductor manufacturers is likely to foster their demand in the market. According to the report, the most important driver is the increasing adoption of mobile devices. Over the past decade there has been an unprecedented growth in the adoption of mobile devices such as cell phones, smartphones, notebook PCs, tablets, ultrabooks, and PDAs. This has led to a consequential rise in the demand for wafer-level packaging equipment, as it is vital for the functioning of mobile devices. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in this market is the cyclical nature of the Semiconductor industry, which leads to fluctuations in the demand for wafer-level packaging equipment. Moreover, in some cases, the production of such equipment tends to exceed their demand, leading to a large demand-supply gap. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Applied Materials Inc - Disco Corp. - EV Group - Tokyo Electron Ltd. - Tokyo Seimitsu Co. Ltd. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Rudolph Technologies Inc. - SEMES Co. Ltd. - Suss Microtec AG - Ultratech Inc - ULVAC.

Global Chemical Vapor Deposition Market 2014-2018: There Has Been an Increased Use of Plasma-Enhanced CVD in the Market in 2013
M2 - Wed Feb 19, 3:42AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mrjbql/global_chemical) has announced the addition of the "Global Chemical Vapor Deposition Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Chemical Vapor Deposition market to grow at a CAGR of 11.43 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for CVD in the Semiconductor industry. The Global Chemical Vapor Deposition market has also been witnessing the increasing use of plasma-enhanced CVD. However, the high total cost of ownership could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Adeka Corp., Applied Materials Inc., ASM International N.V., and Kurt J. Lesker Co. Other vendors mentioned in the report are AIXTRON SE, Beneq Oy., Levitech BV, Oxford Instruments plc, Picosun Oy, SENTECH Instruments GmbH, SoLayTec, SVT Associates Inc., Ultratech Inc., Veeco Instruments Inc., Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc., NCD Co. Ltd., Encapsulix SAS, Centrotherm Photovoltaics AG, and Tokyo Electron Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Plasma-enhanced CVD is carried out in a vacuum system to generate plasma. The process is the only CVD technique to ensure deposition of a thin film coating at a low temperature. For instance, deposition of Si3N4 on integrated circuits needs to be carried out at a low temperature through plasma enhanced CVD. Thus, there has been an increased use of plasma-enhanced CVD in the market in 2013, although it is a more expensive technique than thermally activated CVD. This trend is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the Global Chemical Vapor Deposition market during the forecast period. According to the report, increasing demand for CVD among semiconductor manufacturers is one of the major drivers in the market, as CVD equipment and materials are used widely in the manufacturing of semiconductors.
