The global Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) industry was estimated to be worth $5.4 billion by 2022. This market, driven by rising demand for cutting-edge technology, is likely to expand rapidly during the next decade. According to Future Market Insights, the global CMP market is predicted to develop at a 5.3% CAGR, reaching a stunning US$ 9.1 billion by 2032.
The process of smoothing or planarizing surfaces with chemical and mechanical forces is known as ‘chemical mechanical planarization/polishing’. In other words, it uses both chemical and abrasive etching.
Chemical mechanical planarization is used extensively to eliminate surface imperfections from memory disks, silicon wafers, and other electronic equipment.
At the same time, the fact that chemical mechanical planarization equipment is costly can’t be ignored. This factor could restrain the chemical mechanical planarization market can’t be ignored. Also, multiple parameters like pad conditioning, slurry composition, temperature, and pressure are to be carefully controlled, that too, simultaneously. Any deviation on this count could be detrimental in the near future.
Slurry utilized in CMP does contain several chemicals inclusive of oxidizers, abrasive particles, and surfactants. They could harm the environment if mishandled. These days, CMP is combined with nanotechnology and 3D IC, which, in turn, calls for new processing methods; which are tough to create as well as implement. These are the other lot of restraining factors over here. Additionally, alternative techniques such as plasma polishing and dry etching are gaining popularity.
Future Market Insights has entailed these findings in its latest market study entitled ‘Chemical Mechanical Planarization Market’. It has its line of expertise in the form of analysts and consultants to execute using a bottom-up approach in its primary, secondary, and tertiary modes of research.
“CMP pads and CMP slurries generate maximum revenue”, says an analyst from Future Market Insights.
