Pretty impressive to know that "The semiconductor CVD/ALD industry utilizes precursors for over 29 different metals and metal oxides provided globally by 23 suppliers." Thanks Rob for sharing this one in the ALD LinkedIn Group!
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "2015 ALD/CVD High K and Metal Precursors for the Semiconductor IC Market" report to their offering.
The High K / ALD Precursors report provides information on the applications and markets associated with front end and back end of line precursors used to produce high dielectric constant (K) dielectrics and atomic layer deposition dielectrics and metals. Market size, growth, and market share statistics are provided.
Rancho Santa Fe, CA, June 15: Use of front-end Ta and W metal gate and Hf gate dielectric precursors will grow over 2.5x by 2020, according to a new report from this research industry, 2015ALD/CVD High K and Metal Precursors for the Semiconductor IC Market. The overall precursor market sits at $185M today, and is expected to grow 18% over the next five years. The advanced metal gate and gate dielectric segments within that market are expected to grow at 168%, more than compensating for the 25% decline anticipated for the high memory precursor segment.
The 2014 market size for CVD/ALD precursors for interconnect applications was approximately $93M, up 19% over 2013. 2015 is forecast to be up another 15%. By 2016, growth in this segment will be dominated by cobalt barrier precursors, as WF for contact and plug applications begins to decline. The 5-year CAGR for this area is forecast to be 9.4% overall.
The precursor market for capacitor CVD/ALD applications, which includes DRAM and a variety of memory devices, is expected to be flat for the next 5 years, fluctuating in the range of $55M to $70M. The difficulties in forecasting conventional memory demand are compounded by the emergence of a host of new memory device structures, not all of which depend on these materials.
The semiconductor CVD/ALD industry utilizes precursors for over 29 different metals and metal oxides provided globally by 23 suppliers. In addition to market analysis, process flow details, precursor candidates and critical supply chain issues, the report includes regional ranking for major suppliers of vapor deposition precursors.
