This is expected to boost the global high resistivity silicon wafers market during the forecast period. Moreover, demand for power semiconductors is increasing in the power electronics field around the globe, as it is increasingly used in switch or rectifier applications, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the global high resistivity silicon wafers market.
  • In terms of revenue, the global high resistivity silicon wafers market is estimated to reach value of US$ 337.6 Mn by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period

Rising Demand for High Resistivity Silicon Wafers in Consumer Electronics Devices: A Key Driver

  • High resistivity silicon wafers are extensively used in consumer electronics devices such as smartphones, smart watches, tablets, and smart TVs to enhance their performance and accuracy
  • Continuous development in technology leads to the development of consumer electronic products enabled with infrared detector and sensors to operate devices conveniently
  • As the need for IR applications grows, manufacturers have begun to utilize appropriate IR materials in the design of plano-optics as per the requirement of applications
  • Furthermore, demand for IR detectors is increasing with growing safety and security concerns in hotels, hospitals, offices, and airports among others, which is anticipated to surge the demand for high resistivity silicon wafers
  • Thus, increase in adoption of consumer electronic devices is expected to drive the growth of the global high resistivity silicon wafers market during the forecast period

Development of Advanced Materials for 5G Related Products: Latest Market Trend

  • In recent decades, the semiconductor industry has undergone multiple changes; among these, miniaturization in semiconductor technology has made a significant contribution to the success of modern electronics in many fields
  • Multiple manufacturers are engaged in production of many technologically advanced materials that can be used to enhance the performance of semiconductor and electronic devices
  • For instance, in December 2019, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., developed a Quartz Cloth and a Thermoset Ultra-low Dielectric Resin, ideal for printed circuit boards, IC substrates, electronic devices, and antennas that will be used in 5G high-frequency communication
  • Thus, rise in use of newly developed advanced materials for 5G-related products has spurred the demand for high resistivity silicon wafers, which is expected to bolster the growth of the high resistivity silicon wafers market during the forecast period

Limitation of FZ Wafer Technology up to 200 mm Size: Major Challenge of High Resistivity Silicon Wafers Market

  • High resistivity silicon substrates are crucial to improve signal isolation and minimize substrate cross-talk in radio frequency
  • Availability of large diameter size is helpful to manufacture large amounts of semiconductor and power devices at a low manufacturing cost
  • In high resistivity silicon wafers, float zone (FZ) silicon wafers are generally not greater than 200mm (8”) due to the surface tension limitations during growth and thus not suitable for modern CMOS processing where the standard wafer diameter is 12’’
  • However, with continuous technological advancement, this limitation is expected to be resolved, which will help to produce power devices and detector/sensor products at a lower cost
  • Thus, this factor is projected to have a moderately negative impact on the global high resistivity silicon wafers market during the forecast period
