Atomic Layer Disposition

February 04, 2010

 

Wellesley, Mass. – According to a new technical market research report, ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION (SMC061B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the value of the global market for atomic layer deposition (ALD) materials and equipment is an estimated $199 million in 2009, but is expected to increase to $978 million in 2014, for a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.5%.
 
Equipment is the largest segment of the ALD market, with a value of $120.8 million in 2009. That is expected to rise at a 5-year CAGR of 36.8% to reach nearly $579 million in 2014.
 
The other segment, materials, is projected to reach a value of nearly $400 million in 2014, after rising at a CAGR of 38.5% from its 2009 estimated value of more than $78 million.

In the more than 30 years since it was first developed, atomic layer deposition has been used to produce thin films with different compositions (pure metals, oxides, nitrides, carbides and others). This technology, which is capable of producing monolayers on an atomic or molecular scale, is particularly well suited for the deposition of nanofilms (films with a thickness below 100 nanometers) on different surfaces, including metals, ceramics, and polymers. 
 
This study covers the utilization of ALD in six sectors: electronics, mechanical/chemical, energy, optics, medical/biological/dental, and nanotechnology.
 
Once the global recession ends, it is expected that semiconductor fabrications will ramp up the purchasing of equipment needed to reach the next stage in IC manufacturing. In addition to semiconductors, ALD is also forecast to see its use increase in the manufacturing of other advanced devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and as a fabrication and manipulation tool in nanotechnology.
 
This report is mainly directed toward executives, directors, operations managers, sales and marketing managers, and strategic planners. Universities and research facilities may find this study to be a good source of technical information regarding ALD technology, materials, and equipment, which can be used as a baseline for new or expanded R&D activities. Librarians of technical information and research centers can also use this report to provide critical data to product managers, market analysts, researchers, and other professionals needing detailed and updated insights into the ALD industry.
