The Thin
Wafer Market was valued at 6.76 Billion in 2015, and is projected to
reach USD 9.17 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.7% between 2016 and 2022. The
increasing demand for semiconductor devices in varied industry verticals such
as automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunication, among others,
serves to be one of the most significant factor propelling the growth of the
thin wafer market. Thin wafers have applications in LEDs, MEMS, CIS, power
devices, RF devices, memory, and other semiconductor devices. In addition to
this, the growing IC industry and high adoption of portable devices are
creating opportunities for thin wafers worldwide.
This report provides valuable insights
regarding the ecosystem of this market, such as product manufacturers and
suppliers, OEMs, system integrators, suppliers and distributors, electronic
device manufacturers, and semiconductor device manufacturers. This study
answers several questions for stakeholders, primarily which focus on
prioritizing efforts and investments in this market, in the next two to six
years.
Key players operating in this market are LG
Siltronic, Inc. (South Korea), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., (Japan), Siltronic AG
(Germany), SUMCO Corporation (Japan), SunEdision Semiconductor Ltd. (U.S.),
SUSS MicroTec AG (Germany), Lintec Corporation (Japan), DISCO Corporation
(Japan), 3M (U.S.), Applied Materials, Inc. (U.S.), Nissan Chemical Corporation
(Japan), Synova (Switzerland), EV Group (U.S.), Brewer Science, Inc. (U.S.),

The 300mm wafer segment is the
fastest-growing segment in the thin wafer market. The 300mm wafer offers the
ability to manufacture a large number of devices in a single batch. This is one
of the prime reasons companies are developing their semiconductor devices by
using this wafer. For instance, in 2011, Infineon Technologies (Germany)
started developing power semiconductor devices by utilizing this wafer.
One of the key restraining factors in the
thin wafer market is efficiency maintenance. A thin wafer has a low absorption
capacity for a long wavelength, especially if the thickness is below 50μm. This
inability to absorb long wavelengths impacts its efficiency. Moreover, delays
in supply of thin wafers due to manufacturing defects can cause additional
losses in the form of order cancellations and shift in customer preference. Key
players in this market are focused on mergers & acquisitions and new
product launches to increase their revenue.
