SEMICONDUCTOR GAS PURIFIERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

• By type

Depending on semiconductor gas purifiers market given are Point of Use Gas Purifiers and Bulk Gas Purifier.

Point of Use Gas Purifiers: These purifiers are connected at the process tool to deliver purity of gas at the point of use only. They are purging devices used to scrub residual impurities right before the gas gets to the semiconductor manufacturing equipment for provision of high process purity.

Bulk Gas Purifier: Such purifiers remove and scrub high throughput gaseous streams at a central station while circulating the whole unit of the structure. They are employed to guarantee that the supply network for gases is supplying high purity gases across the manufacturing line of the semiconductor at the several points and to control the contamination threats at a mammoth level.

• By Application

The market is divided into Deposition, Photolithography, Bulk Gas Delivery, Etching and Others.

Deposition: Purifiers in the deposition processes must be certain that gases have no contaminants, when thin layers of materials are being put on semiconductor wafers.

Photolithography:  These purifiers are essential in providing such high pure gasses even in photolithography where designs are etched on wafers using exposed light.

Bulk Gas Delivery: In vast pipelines delivering large processing gaseous requirements of production processes like nitrogen, oxygen or even hydrogen, industrial purifiers maintain their contaminant-free characteristic before reaching different stages of semiconductor manufacturing process.

Etching: In etching processes, the impurity removal system removes contaminants from the reactive gases which in-turn are used to pattern circuit designs on the wafers.

Others: This category includes purifiers used in semiconductor processes other than ablation and etching, but in processes such as doping and cleaning, where the purity of specialty gases will determine the viability of high output.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Complexity of Semiconductor Devices Drives the Market"

With the development of semiconductor technology, the electronic devices are continuously shrinking and getting complex that opens up the need for higher levels of purity of the gas used in the semiconductor processes to avoid affecting the purity of the devices. Purities of less than one part per million are sometimes possible, and even tiny amounts of impurities are able to generate defects, consequently effecting yields and performance. Ultra-high purity is hence required in the modern semiconductor fabrication plants hence generating the demand in the market for gas purifiers. This is especially the case in deposition and etching processes where even the slightest impurities can have adverse impact on creation of the features of the desired size.

"Growing Demand for High-Performance Electronics Drives the Market"

Bursting use of smart devices, IoT applications, and advanced computing systems are forcing the Semiconductor Industry to ramp up performance and reliable systems. Therefore, producers need strict regulation of the settings of the manufacturing process, including the level of gas filtration. Effective gas purifiers contribute a great deal to the enhancement of the specific processes that shape semiconductors hence, faster and more efficient electronic products.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Cost Associated with Advanced Purification Technologies Restrain the Market Growth"

One restraining factor for the high cost, very expensive to produce ultra-high purity levels and also the availability of raw material is a major limitation. The use of the latest available purification systems compatible with the purest processes used in production of semiconductors is an expensive affair since it involves both investment in equipment and maintenance. These costs can be very high; more so to the small scale industries or firms and those in the developing world hence may inhibit the diffusion of new and efficient purification technologies hence slowing down the growth of the market. Also, the fact that they require constant upgrades to match the improvements in the manufacturing of semiconductors is another burden incurred which hampers the expansion in the market.
