Epitaxy is a method used to grow or lay a single crystalline film or
layer over a crystalline-based semiconductor surface or substrate.
The deposited substance must have a definite acclimatization with
regard to the crystal-based semiconductor substrate. Moreover, Chip
developers applies either molten or vapor based foundations to
produce such epitaxial over layers. An epitaxial wafer is a wafer of
semiconducting substrate made by epitaxial growth for application in
microelectronics, photovoltaics and photonics. The market for
epitaxial wafers is segmented on the basis of wafer size which
includes 50mm to 100mm, 100mm to 150mm, above 150 mm. The market has
been also segmented by application which includes LED semiconductor,
power semiconductor, and MEMS-based devices among others.
Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Asia
Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa and South America.

Heteroepitaxy and homoepitaxy are two prime methods used for
epitaxial deposition. A film or layer is deposited on a substrate of
dissimilar composition is known as heteroepitaxy deposition. Laying a
film or layer on a surface or substrate of a similar level of
conformation is known as homoepitaxy. With the growing demand for
high end semiconductor equipment and device and increasing demand for
energy efficient LED lights is also fueling the market for epitaxial
wafer globally. Increasing focus on reducing the overall consumption
of electricity along with growing awareness of green technology among
consumers have compelled manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly and
energy-efficient lighting for example LED lighting. Furthermore,
different governments are also taking up multiple projects and
offering subsidies to promote LED lights which are acting as major
driving factor for the epi wafer market globally. MEMS devices for
instance gyroscopes, pressure sensors, accelerometers, micromirrors,
digital compasses and modern pico projectors primarily use epi-wafers
with features with thicker epi layers. Lowering manufacturing costs
and providing higher device sensitivity and performance is driving
the market for epi wafer market globally.
The rising demand for high end features of smart devices like tablets
and smart phones are having a positive effect on the market for
epitaxial wafers. Epitaxial wafers are more effective than bulk
wafers owing to its attribute of providing the doping profile of a
particular semiconductor device. The deposited layers are generally
designed to have different electrical and compositional properties
from the underlying wafer. Further, this can be easily adjusted as
per the need of the semiconductor equipment or devices. For example,
an epitaxial layer on a transistor primarily boosts the transistor’s
switching speed and increases its breakdown voltage. Increasing
popularity of tablets, smartphone, notebooks, gaming consoles,
personal computers and laptops are fueling the demand for epitaxial
wafers globally. OEMs (Original Equipment manufacturers) are keen on
introducing new 3D NAND integrated devices for example ICs. DRAM
(Dynamic random access memory) requires less power and this attribute
is another prime factor fueling the market for epitaxial wafers
worldwide. Design complexities are one of the major restraining
factors for the market which may hinder the growth of the market.
However, Introduction of Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and 3D
NAND memory devices are anticipated to boost the demand for epitaxial
wafers and it is considered as major opportunity for the market
across different economies globally.
In 2016, Asia Pacific is dominating the market for epitaxial wafers,
followed by North America and Europe globally. The rising popularity
of advanced electronic equipment and devices like high end laptops,
gaming consoles and other smart gadgets are fueling the market for
epitaxial wafers across Asia Pacific. China and Japan are leading the
market across Asia Pacific, followed by India, South Korea, and
Taiwan among others. The U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, France, Italy
are among other major countries contributing in the epitaxial wafers
market. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Argentina are expected to
witness positive growth over the forecast period from 20167to 2025.
