Chemical Mechanical Planarization Market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of ~8%

April 16, 2021

The global chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) market was valued at ~US$ 4.5 Bn in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of ~8% during the forecast period.
Chemical mechanical planarization is a standard manufacturing process used in the semiconductor industry to fabricate integrated circuits and memory disks. Expansion in the semiconductor industry is estimated to propel the chemical mechanical planarization market.
Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the global chemical mechanical planarization market, led by the strong demand for semiconductors in the region.

Chemical mechanical planarization is a process that removes topography from silicon oxide, metal, and polysilicon surfaces. It is a planarization step utilized in deep sub-micron IC manufacturing. Chemical mechanical planarization has been widely used in the semiconductor industry for oxide dielectric and metal layer planarization. It has also been employed for the fabrication and assembly of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
