Surface contamination of silicon wafers is among the biggest challenges faced across the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Silicon wafers get contaminated majorly from exposure to the open air containing substantial amount of organic particle impurities. This largely affects efficiency, performance and reliability of semiconductor devices. This has been the prime factor responsible for semiconductor wafer cleaning equipment industry. Wafer cleaning equipment are primarily used for cleaning silicon wafers, write/read heads of hard disk (HD) drives, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), printed circuit boards, photomasks, flat panel displays and several other compound semiconductor device components.
The semiconductor wafer cleaning equipment market is majorly driven by the ever-rising semiconductor and electronics industry worldwide. Due to growing penetration of smartphones and tablets, the demand for integrated circuits (IC) has witnessed paradigm shift over the period of time. In addition, due to proliferating use of microelectronics across different applications, development of efficient and small sized semiconductor devices has become highly essential. Increasing need for high performance miniaturized electronic devices is expected to continue spurring the demand for related cleaning equipment, in the following years.
