Global Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Market Research Report 2020

Semiconductor silicon wafers are key component of integrated circuits such as those used to power computers, cell phones, and a wide variety of other devices. A silicon wafer consists of a thin slice of silicon which can be treated in various ways, depending on the type of electronics that is being used. Silicon has a very high quality semiconductor, making it ideal for the production of such circuits.

According to the processing procedures, silicon wafer products can be divided into five categories: polished wafers, annealed wafers, epitaxial wafers, node separators, and silicon wafers on insulators product.

Polished wafer: cut out the original silicon wafer with a thickness of about 1mm directly from the single crystal silicon pillar, and then polished mirror surface processing.

Annealed wafer: The polished wafer is annealed in a high temperature environment filled with argon or oxygen, which can greatly reduce the oxygen on the surface of the polished wafer

Gas content to maintain crystal integrity.

Epitaxial wafer: A single crystal structure layer is epitaxially grown on the surface of the polishing wafer by applying vapor growth technology on the surface of the polishing wafer.

A high resistance layer is formed on the low resistance substrate.

Section separator: Based on the polishing sheet, the intermediate layer is embedded by photolithography, ion implantation, thermal diffusion technology, etc.

Then, a vapor-phase growth technique is used to form a smooth epitaxial layer on the outside of the silicon wafer.

SOI wafer (silicon wafer on insulator): sandwich structure, the bottom layer is a polishing wafer, the middle layer is a buried oxide layer (BOX),

The top layer is the active layer and the polishing pad. SOI silicon wafers allow semiconductor device designers to completely isolate the device from the surrounding parts.

According to size, the current mainstream silicon wafers can be divided into 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch silicon wafers. 8-inch silicon wafer should mainly used in automotive electronics, industrial electronics, mobile communications, Internet of Things; 12-inch silicon chips are mainly used in smart phones, computers,Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, solid-state storage hard drives, etc.

With the improvement of the lifting single crystal technology, the size of the silicon wafer has gradually increased over time, from 2 inches (50mm) to 4 inches (100mm), 5 inches (125mm), 6 inches (150mm), 8 inches (200mm), and 12 inches (300mm) by 2000.

The mainstream technology is dominated by 12-inch and 8-inch silicon wafers.

The logic of the continuous increase in the size of silicon chips over time is that the chip design is mostly rectangular, and the The wafers are all round, so the circuit etched on the corners will be cut off and discarded later. The larger the silicon chip, the more chips More, the less the proportion of waste removal, so it can improve the utilization rate of silicon wafers and reduce costs. According to Chen-Fu Chien The paper published by Computers & Industrial Engineering. Compares the utilization efficiency of different wafer sizes with the OWE index. The larger the silicon wafer size, the more obvious the improvement in utilization efficiency. In addition, in order to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, large-size silicon wafers are used more and more. After the size is increased, the number of chips manufactured on a single silicon wafer will be more. Because the cost of each lithography is fixed, a single The manufacturing cost of the chip can therefore be reduced.

Benefiting from the growth of the semiconductor industry and wafer capacity, global silicon wafer shipments and prices have continued to rise since 2016.

From 2016 to 2018, the global semiconductor wafer sales increased from 7.209 billion US dollars to 11.381 billion US dollars, CAGR 25.65%; the semiconductor silicon wafer shipment area increased from 10738 million square inches to 12732 million square inches,The CAGR is 8.89%; the unit price of semiconductor wafer sales has increased from 0.67 USD / square inch to 0.89 USD / square inch,The CAGR is 15.39%. Since the new semiconductor cycle, semiconductor wafer shipments, prices and markets have continued to rise.

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 100 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are already starting to be felt and will significantly affect the Semiconductor Silicon Wafer market in 2020.

COVID-19 can affect the global economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating supply chain and market disruption, and by its financial impact on firms and financial markets.
