INTRODUCTION

STUDY BACKGROUND

Electronics cleaning refers to the processes or steps that are employed to ensure that a semiconductor or other microelectronic device remains free from contaminants or other foreign materials that could have an adverse impact on its proper functioning and performance. New requirements are being placed on electronics cleaning technologies and products, because as device geometries continue to shrink and die sizes grow, microcontaminants such as particles, metallic impurities, and trace organic contaminants will have an ever-increasing detrimental impact on device yield and reliability.

Various other factors are contributing to the current dynamism of the electronics cleaning market. Process trends such as the movement to single-wafer processing pose new challenges for cleaning technology. Economic and environmental concerns are also causing users of electronics cleaning products to look for ways of reducing their chemicals consumption and substituting more environmentally benign chemicals for the harsh chemistries used in traditional “wet” process cleaning.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

In such a dynamic environment, technologies and markets for electronics cleaning are continually evolving. This report is an update of a report published by BCC Research in May 2006.

The goal of this updated study is to provide the reader with an understanding of recent developments in electronics cleaning applications, technologies, and products that will influence the future size and structure of the market for cleaning equipment and consumables.

Specific objectives include identifying segments of the electronics cleaning market with the greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term (2010 to 2015), identifying and, where possible, quantifying the key demand drivers, projecting future demand for cleaning equipment and supplies, and evaluating the challenges that must be overcome for each segment to realize its potential.
