Market Dynamics
A wafer (also known as a slice or substrate) is a thin slice of semiconductor material, such as silicon crystal, used in the fabrication of integrated circuits and other microdevices in electronics. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices built within and on top of it, and it goes through many microfabrication process steps such as doping or ion implantation, etching, material deposition, and photolithographic patterning. The individual microcircuits are then separated (sliced) and packaged. These wafers are also used to make various types of solar cells. A solar cell (usually square) is made from the entire wafer on a solar wafer.
The growing demand for high-performance electronic devices is expected to propel the Silicon Wafer Market forwards. Increased business growth and rising living standards have resulted in increased demand for smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices. Silicon wafers are used to manufacture semiconductors, which are the building blocks of modern electrical devices. These wafers are extremely clean and impurity-free, making them an excellent substrate for modern semiconductors. They are used to create microchips and chips, as well as integrated circuits (ICs), which are used in a variety of electronic products.
The Asia Pacific silicon wafer market is dominated by the region. The presence of major semiconductor foundries and wafer fabrication industries, as well as the rising adoption of portable electronic devices, drive market growth. Furthermore, the region's silicon wafer market share is being bolstered by the increasing use of AI, IoT, data analytics, and other technologies and solutions in a variety of industries. Increased demand for automated systems, fast networks, and processors with high computing power support market growth. Furthermore, rising investments in the development of computing technology increase the size of the region's silicon wafer market.
The Silicon Wafers market is highly competitive in nature with the presence of local & international players. Major players in the industry engage in strategic merger & acquisition, partnership, and new product launches to remain competent in the market. For example, In August 2021, The state of Michigan's quasi-government economic development agency approved nearly $6 million in incentives for a semiconductor wafer manufacturer located near Bay City. The plan by SK Siltron CSS LLC to invest nearly $303 million in Monitor Township comes amid a global shortage of semiconductors, which has resulted in the closure of auto plants and shortages of new vehicles and other consumer electronics. As part of the rehabilitation and expansion project, the Auburn-based subsidiary of Korean conglomerate SK Group expects to hire up to 150 people ranging from semi-skilled operators to engineers.
