Wafer Fab Equipment Market

Semiconductor wafer fabrication is defined as process for production of photonic and electrical circuits, which include LEDs, Radio Frequency Amplifiers (RFA), and optical computer components. Wafer fabrication helps in building components with required electrical structures. Wafer fabrication process is conducted for processing raw wafers to finished chips (discrete or integrated circuits). Traditional wafer fabrication process involves individual steps for resistors, transistors, conductors, and other electronic components processing on the semiconductor wafer. Semiconductor equipment plays a vital role in integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing, located in fab, a manufacturing facility. Thus, semiconductor wafer fabrication is used to create circuits, which are used in electronic and electrical devices.

Growth in demand from consumer electronics industry and increase in technological advancements in telecom and semiconductor sector are expected to contribute to the growth of the wafer fab equipment market. However, factors such as requirement of very specific raw materials, state-of-art machinery requirement, and huge investment restraint the growth of the market.
