2.1 SCOPE
This report is focused on technical ceramic materials market and supply-chain which includes SiC/ CVD SiC, AlN, Al2O3, Y2O3, and BN used in the production of components and assemblies for use in semiconductor process equipment. We gathered information from primary research (field interviews), commonly available industry information, patent and IP (intellectual property) based knowledge, and combined this with available data base information to form the basis of this report.
SiC is frequently used for both carriers (boats, gas injectors, and fabware) and components for OEMs where high temperature or specific thermal packages are required, while traditional Al2O3 and AlN ceramics are normally used for lower temperature / etch applications.
The machines/tools manufacturers that use these components are referred to as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). This report targets ceramics used in the manufacture of semiconductors, only. The report contains data and analysis from TECHCET’s data base and Sr. Analyst experience, as well as that developed from primary and secondary market research.
2.2 PURPOSE
This Critical Materials Report™ (CMR) provides focused information for supply-chain managers,process integration and R&D directors, as well as business development managers, and financial analysts. The report covers information about key suppliers, issues/trends in thematerial supply chain, estimates on supplier market share, and forecast for the material segments.
This report aims to provide an overview to the above scope ceramic material and parts supply chain, serving the semiconductor industry. This information about this critical material is essential in the running of the semiconductor wafer fabs across the world. The goal is to annually track the state of the industry; the health of the supply and demand; to pinpoint any shortcomings or issues faced by the industry; and to provide a guidance for purchasing and industry quality improvement decisions. We hope to provide a dialog and feedback opportunities for related stakeholders to fine-tune and better manage the supply ups and downs.
