Semiconductor/Microelectronics Cleaning

June 24, 2011

Wellesley, Mass. – In a recent release, SEMICONDUCTOR/MICROELECTRONICS CLEANING (SMC064B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for microelectronic cleaning equipment, consumables, and services was worth $3.4 billion in 2010. That value is projected to be $8 billion in 2015, after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%.

The global microelectronic cleaning market can be broken down into three segments – chemicals, gases and other consumables; equipment; and services.

The segment made up of chemicals gases and other consumables was valued at $2.1 billion in 2010, and in 2015 should be worth nearly $5.1 billion, yielding a CAGR of 19.1%.

The equipment segment, worth $1 billion in 2010, should rise to $2.4 billion in 2015, also at a CAGR of 19.1%.

The segment made up of services was worth $303 million in 2010 and should reach a value of $539 million in 2015, a CAGR of 12.2%.

Electronics cleaning refers to the processes or steps that ensure a semiconductor or other microelectronic device remain free from contaminants or other foreign materials that could have adverse effects on its functioning and performance.

New requirements are being placed on electronics cleaning technologies and products, because as device geometries continue to shrink and die sizes continue to grow, microcontaminants such as particles, metallic impurities, and trace organic contaminants have an ever-increasing detrimental impact on device yield and reliability.

This report is intended especially for vendors of electronics cleaning equipment, chemicals, gases, and other consumables. Others who may find it particularly useful include entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, and other readers with a need to know where the electronics cleaning market is headed over the next five years.
