About Semiconductor Silicon Wafer
Silicon wafer is a semiconductor material, which is used as a substrate for the fabrication of semiconductor components such as semiconductor ICs. Fabrication of semiconductor components undergoes numerous microfabrication steps such as ion implantation, etching, deposition of various materials, and photolithographic patterning. In the final step, microcircuits are separated through the dicing process and then they undergo IC packaging, followed by testing. Silicon wafers that are used for manufacturing semiconductor components are obtained from silicon ingot, which is approximately 99.99999 percent pure silicon. Silicon wafers are available in a wide variety of diameters ranging from 25.4 mm to 300 mm. A silicon wafer of the diameter 450 mm is still in the development phase and is expected to be available at the end of 2016.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Semiconductor Silicon Wafer market to grow at a CAGR of 3.74 percent in terms of revenue over the period 2014-2019.
