Silicon wafer reclaim is a specific wafer, which is processed, stripped, polished & cleaned, and reprocessed for a variety of applications such as for manufacturing of solar cells, integrated circuits, and more. Additionally, it is a process that converts used wafer into the functioning good quality wafer recognized as test wafer at much cheaper cost. With the aid of silicon wafer reclaim, companies can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing new wafers. These wafers are much thinner in size as compared to unused wafers and generally provide the similar performance as an unused or virgin test wafer. Principally, process of these wafer reclaims begins with the sorting, inspection, and evaluation for prevention of metallic-contamination in the reclaim process. Moreover, metallic films on the wafer are removed by stripping process. This is followed by a different practice identified as grinding process, which is generally used to remove the additional metallic films from the silicon wafer.
As per analysis, “Global Silicon Wafer Reclaim Market Status (2015-2019) and Forecast (2020-2024) by Region, Product Type & End-Use” some of the renowned companies operating in the global silicon wafer reclaim market are Wafer World, Optim Wafer Services, Pure Wafer, KST World Corp, Optim Wafer Services, SEMI, Noel Technologies, MicroTech Systems, Phoenix Silicon International, Shinryo Corporation, Wafer World, Nano Silicon, Advantec, RS Technologies, Rasa Industries, Ltd and among others.
Based on type, silicon wafer reclaim market is segmented as 150mm, 200mm and 300mm. 300mm segment dominates the global market owing to rise in demand for product from the solar industry. In addition, based on application, market is segmented as solar cells, integrated circuits and others. The solar cells segment is anticipated to witness higher growth rate due to rise in government initiatives for renewable energy during the forecast period.
The silicon wafer reclaim market is driven by rapid rate of industrialization & urbanization, followed by rise in demand in manufacturing of microchips or chips used in the electronic devices, easy availability of proficient technical expertise, increase in disposable income, surge in the number of solar panel installations, growth in employment & economy, increase in cost of silicon wafers and growth in population. However, lack of awareness regarding reclaim services is a major hindering factor for market.
Based on geography, the North-America is the leading region in global silicon wafer reclaims market owing to presence of key manufacturers in the region, rise in applications in automotive industry and growth in demand for low cost silicon wafer across the region. The Europe and Asia-Pacific regions are estimated to witness higher growth rate because of growth in industrial development in developing countries and rise in demand for semiconductor industry over the forecast period. Emerging countries China & India are foremost consumer countries of silicon wafer reclaim industry in the APAC region due to low inclusive recovery cost in the economy. It is expected that future of the global silicon wafer reclaim market will be bright as a result of rise in demand for solar cell during the forecast period.
