The Global Epitaxy Equipment Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.45% through the forecast period of 2022-2030.
A family of instruments called epitaxy equipment is used to grow or deposit thin films on a substrate. Epitaxy is a combination of the Greek words for "arrangement" and "on". Epitaxial film growth is crucial for creating semiconductor devices, including solar cells, LEDs, and integrated circuits (ICs). In epitaxy, a material layer known as the seed layer is applied to a substrate. Chemical vapor deposition is the most popular method for doing epitaxy, which generates a non-volatile solid layer on a substrate from reactions of appropriate chemical vapors.
Market Trends:
- Innovative LED Devices as a Market Driver: The visible LED market is broadening its offerings by introducing specialized UV and IR LEDs based on GaAs substrates. LED manufacturers are also developing cutting-edge products like mini LEDs and micro LEDs to enhance the value of consumer displays. For example, Apple has started marketing a premium version of its wristwatch. The increasing use of micro LEDs in smartphone products is influencing the demand for epi-ready wafers. Additionally, researchers at the University of Sheffield have pioneered a new method for producing high-brightness green InGaN microLED arrays.
- Rising Demand for Advanced Computing Resources: There is an escalating need for larger parameter models to support AI training and inferencing, requiring computational and memory resources with high bandwidth, low latency, low power usage, and exceptional reliability. The availability of high-quality, large-volume quantum dot epitaxial wafers for laser sources and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) remains limited, necessitating further production growth.
- Asia-Pacific: The resurgence of the equipment market in the Asia-Pacific region is fueled by advancements in logic and foundries, multiple new projects in China, and a growing demand for memory chips. This region hosts some of the world's leading epitaxial wafer producers, which continue to expand their operations.
