 Growing Usage of Wafer Cleaning Solutions in Semiconductor Manufacturing

Growing usage of wafer cleaning solutions in semiconductor manufacturing can drive the growth of the global wet chemicals for electronics and semiconductor applications market. As semiconductor manufacturers aim to continually scale down feature sizes and integrate more transistors onto chips, cleaning processes have become significantly important to remove tiny particles, residues and contaminants from wafer surfaces. Presence of even microscopic particles and impurities can compromise functionality and reliability of semiconductor devices. Thus, manufacturers extensively utilize specially formulated wet etchants, solvents and other cleaning chemistries during multiple cleaning steps in the complex semiconductor fabrication process.  Continuous miniaturization achieved through newer and advanced semiconductor fabrication technologies such as 7 nanometer and sub-10 nanometer nodes have put greater emphasis on ultra-clean manufacturing environments and stringent cleaning standards. This requires the use of high-purity wet chemicals and optimized cleaning solutions to prevent defects, corrosion and unintended etching. Furthermore, new challenges arising from more sophisticated device designs, advanced materials and 3D device architectures have strengthened the need for innovative wafer cleaning methods. Semiconductor players are consistently developing and implementing novel cleaning techniques using advanced wet chemicals to ensure device performance and yield targets are met. This growing application of customized wet chemicals for critical cleaning purposes in the complex semiconductor manufacturing process can drive the market growth.
