Silicon Reclaim Wafers to Benefit From the Focus On Environmental Management of Wastes, Rising Costs of Virgin Silicon & Use of Recycled Silicon in Solar Cell Production
Growing
use of reclaimed wafers in testing and monitoring semiconductor fabrication
processes and rise in demand for cost effective silicon wafers in solar cells
production against the backdrop of robust investments in solar energy are
poised to drive the global market for Silicon Reclaim Wafers to reach US$714.5 million by 2024.
Reclaimed
grade wafers, also known as silicon reclaim wafers, are recycled and processed
used test and prime wafers which find applications similar to test and monitor
grade wafers. Silicon
wafers are used extensively in semiconductors industry and today forms the
foundation of all electronics components. Growth
of the silicon reclaim wafer market would primarily depend on wafer starts and
foundry utilization. In addition, the
rising adoption of solar energy and the resultant increase in recycling
activities would contribute to the growth. Silicon wafers comprise a major
component of solar photovoltaic systems. While rise in adoption of solar
PV
amid growing interest among various governments to invest in clean energy
generation and increasing emphasis on renewable energy solutions augurs well
for silicon wafers market, the increase in raw material prices for production
of virgin silicon wafers continues to drive manufacturers to adopt reclaim
technologies. In addition, the growing demand for reclaimed silicon wafers as
test wafers for testing, control and monitoring of semiconductor fabrication
processes further supports growth. Technological
developments in the reclaiming process to improve yield and quality and also
reduce reclaim cycle times and cost is expected to further contribute to market
growth in future. Growth is also supported by favorable government regulations
to reduce e-waste.
As stated
by the new market research report on Silicon Reclaim Wafers, Asia-Pacific represents the largest
market worldwide led by Taiwan. China is
forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market worldwide against the backdrop
of growing investments in semiconductor production and expanding process capacity
in the region.
