Global Atomic Layer Deposition Market 2014-2018: Market to Grow at a CAGR of 36% with Adeka, Applied materials & ASM Int Dominating
M2 - Mon Apr 07, 8:10AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4w9xjl/global_atomic) has announced the addition of the "Global Atomic Layer Deposition Market 2014-2018: Market to Grow at a CAGR of 36% with Adeka, Applied materials & ASM Int Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Atomic Layer Deposition market to grow at a CAGR of 36% to 2018. Growing demand for miniaturized components is one of the major drivers of the Global ALD market. With the rapid development of nanotechnology and other advanced technologies, several manufacturing companies are in the process of manufacturing nano-components for increased compatibility and greater efficiency. Therefore, manufacturing companies across industries prefer the ALD technique to manufacture several smaller components. Development of new ALD materials is one of the major trends in the Global ALD market. The development of new ALD materials is expected to occur in the near future as several ALD material manufacturers are investing a huge amount to develop new ALD materials across the globe. In the last few years, the market has witnessed the introduction of some new materials such as Porous SiOC, AlO, Hf(Si)O, ZrO, LaO, and SiC by the vendors. The development of several new ALD materials is required for the in-depth understanding of growth of thin deposition layers and nanostructures to both inorganic and organic surfaces. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the need for high levels of investment. ALD equipment and materials are priced at a premium, hindering their adoption among SMEs. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Adeka Corp. - Applied Materials Inc. - ASM International N.V. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03.

Global Semiconductor Dry Etching Market 2014-2018 with APPLIED Materials, Hitachi High-Technology, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron Dominating
M2 - Mon Apr 07, 8:03AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jsl8rs/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Semiconductor Dry Etching Market 2014-2018 with APPLIED Materials, Hitachi High-Technology, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron Dominating" report to their offering. The increasing demand for high performance and low power consumption in smaller electronic devices requires the miniaturization of semiconductor circuits. The miniaturization of semiconductor circuits involves a wafer fabrication process through dry etching. Circuit miniaturization requires more thorough dry etching and the number of each etch step increases as capacity additions are incorporated. Currently, electronic devices use semiconductors with circuit line widths in the 20nm range. However, it is expected that ultra-miniature circuits, with line widths in the 10nm range could be introduced during the forecast period. Thus, this growing need for the miniaturization of semiconductor circuits is expected to fuel the demand for semiconductor dry etching equipment. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increasing demand for smart electronic devices. There has been unprecedented growth in the adoption of smart electronic devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, notebooks, PCs, tablets, ultrabooks, and PDAs in the past few years. These devices employ numerous semiconductor components such as microchips that increase the demand for dry etching equipment, as semiconductor components require microfabrication. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the cyclic nature of the Semiconductor industry. The revenue generated in the Semiconductor industry is cyclical in nature because the demand for etching is dependent on the economic climate, due to which production tends often to exceed demand. Key vendors dominating this space are: - APPLIED materials Inc. - Hitachi High-Technology Corp - Lam Research Corp - Tokyo Electron Ltd. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03. Scope of the Report 04. Market Research Methodology 05. Introduction 06. Market Landscape 07. Geographical Segmentation 08. Key Leading Countries 09. Buying Criteria 10.
