光酸产生剂是指光敏有机化学品,当暴露在光下时产生H+并分解成质子等阳离子物质。又称阳离子光引发剂。在半导体工业中,它被用作光固化聚合物配方和化学放大光致抗蚀剂的成分。半导体光致产酸剂市场可以按类型、应用和地区进行细分。这一市场成长的主要驱动力包括电子等几个快速成长产业对半导体的需求不断增长,以及对光刻技术的需求不断增长。
影响半导体光致产酸剂市场成长的主要因素是光刻技术在半导体製造业的普及。光刻系统借助高性能透镜和晶圆曝光,可以减少半导体中复杂的电路图案。例如,2020年4月,住友化学宣布扩建大阪办事处,并引进新的评估设备。除了透过增加产能来应对抗蚀剂需求的成长外,该公司还计划为未来需求的成长做好准备,因为半导体光致产酸剂市场预计将继续扩大。
由于研究和开发的努力,电子产业的成长显着。例如,根据国家投资促进和便利局2021年发布的报告,印度电子业预计到2025年将成长六倍以上。全球对智慧电视和智慧型手机等许多日常电子产品的需求正在不断增长,它们的製造使用半导体来控制和管理电流。因此,如果家电需求成长,半导体的需求也会随之成长,半导体光产酸剂市场规模也会扩大。
半导体也应用于汽车和医疗保健等不断成长的产业,有助于进一步提升半导体光酸产生器产业的价值。半导体广泛应用于现代汽车中的多种 ADAS(高级驾驶辅助系统)技术以及自动驾驶和停车辅助等其他智慧功能。根据国际汽车工业商组织预测,2021年至2022年全球汽车产量将成长6%。因此,随着汽车产销量的成长,半导体製造对半导体光产酸剂的需求也将持续稳定成长。
该行业面临的一个关键挑战是半导体氧化炉的高製造成本。半导体製造中使用的光致产酸剂的生产需要大量资金,许多製造商愿意节省此类资金,这可能会阻碍需求。此外,高成本也阻碍了小型工业运作的潜在需求,特别是在营运的早期阶段。
该行业发展的另一个障碍是在製造过程中需要技术熟练且有能力的劳动力来操作半导体光酸发生器。缺乏熟练的操作员是成长的障碍,僱用更多熟练的工人会提高产品的总成本,进一步降低其承受能力。
半导体光致产酸剂市场可依光刻、光刻、印刷基板等应用细分如下。在这些不同的应用领域中,由于日常电子产品中半导体的使用不断增加,以及各个最终用途行业对先进电子解决方案的需求不断增加,印刷电路基板市场将在未来几年增长,预计将显着增长。
亚太地区是主要的区域市场之一。
预计亚太地区将在半导体光酸发生器行业中占据主要份额,并且在预测期内预计将继续保持相同的趋势。这一市场占有率是该地区主要经济体(如中国和印度)以及其他成长中经济体(如韩国和澳洲)电子和汽车产业对半导体的需求不断增长。
中国是全球最大的电子产品生产中心之一,也是全球最大的製造地之一。电子、医疗保健、国防和汽车等不断成长的产业将继续需要更多的半导体,从而促进半导体光酸发生器市场规模的成长。印度各领域的产业都以国内生产为主,不断发展,对半导体的需求也随之增加。
北美和欧洲市场预计也将出现温和成长。由于电子、汽车(尤其是电动车)和国防领域的工业活动增加,预计美国半导体光酸发生器市场需求将激增,而这些产业的成长将推动对半导体材料的需求。
The semiconductor photoacid generators market was valued at US$1.823 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.
Photoacid generators refer to light-sensitive organic chemical substances that produce H+ when exposed to light and decompose into cationic species such as protons. They are also known as cationic photoinitiators. They are used in the semiconductor industry as photocurable polymer formulation components and chemically amplified photoresists. The semiconductor photoacid generator market can be classified in the following ways: by type, application, and geographic region. The major drivers for the growth of this market include increased demand for semiconductors in several booming industries such as electronics and an increase in demand for lithographic technology.
A key factor impacting the semiconductor photoacid generators market growth is the prevalence of lithographic technology in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The lithography system enables the reduction of complex circuit patterns in semiconductors with the help of high-performance lenses and wafer exposure. For example, in April 2020, Sumitomo Chemical announced the expansion of its Osaka Works plant and installed new evaluation equipment. The company aims to meet the increased demand for photoresists with the increase in production capacity and to prepare for future boosts in demand as the market for semiconductor photoacid generators is expected to continue to grow.
There is a noticeable growth in the electronics industry due to research and development efforts. For instance, the electronics industry in India is expected to multiply by over 6 times by 2025 according to a report published by National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency in 2021. Many daily-use electronic products like smart televisions and smartphones are growing in demand globally, and their manufacturing involves the use of semiconductors to control and manage the flow of electric current. Therefore, as the demand for consumer electronics grows, the demand for semiconductors will grow proportionately which will increase the semiconductor photoacid generators market size too.
Demand for semiconductors by the automotive industry.
Semiconductors also find uses in growing industries such as automotive and healthcare which helps further boost the semiconductor photoacid generators industry value. Semiconductors are used extensively in modern automobiles for several advanced driver assistance system technologies and other smart features such as autopilot driving and parking assistance. The global production of motor vehicles has grown by 6% from 2021 to 2022 as per the International Organization for Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. Therefore, as the production and sale of automobiles grow, the demand for semiconductor photoacid generators for semiconductor manufacturing will also continue to grow at a steady rate.
A significant challenge faced by this industry relates to the high costs of manufacturing semiconductor oxidation furnaces which acts as a hindrance to the growth of the industry as it negatively impacts the demand. There is a significant financial commitment required for manufacturing photoacid generators used in the manufacturing of semiconductors which can be a deterrent to its demand as many manufacturers may not be willing to make such commitments. Further, the high costs also drive away the potential demand from smaller industrial operations, especially in the early stages of operations.
Another additional barrier to the growth of the industry is the need for technically skilled and competent labor for operating semiconductor photoacid generators during the manufacturing process. The lack of skilled operators can act as a barrier to growth, and additionally, hiring skilled labor adds to the overall cost of the product which further reduces its affordability.
The semiconductor photoacid generator market can be segmented into the following ways based on application, namely, Photolithography, Photoengraving, Printed Circuit Boards, and others. Of these different application segments, the market for printed circuit boards is expected to grow significantly over the coming years as a consequence of the rising usage of semiconductors in daily-use electronics and increased demand for advanced electronic solutions across various end-user industries.
The Asia-Pacific region is one of the dominant regional markets.
Asia Pacific is expected to constitute a significant share of the semiconductor photoacid generator industry and similar trends are expected to be followed in the forecast period. This market share is owed to the growth in demand for semiconductors by electronics and automotive sectors in the major economies of the region such as China, and India, as well as other growing countries such as South Korea and Australia.
China holds one of the largest electronics production bases in the world and is also considered one of the largest manufacturing hubs globally. These are two key factors that will continue to increase the demand for semiconductors in Chinese markets as growing industries such as electronics, healthcare, defense, automotive, etc. will continue to demand more semiconductors which will help in the growth of semiconductor photoacid generator market size. In India, the focus on domestic production has led to an increase in industrial growth in all sectors which is driving the demand for semiconductors proportionately.
It is anticipated that North American and European markets will experience moderate growth too. The market for semiconductor photoacid generators in the United States is expected to see a surge in demand due to an increase in industrial operations in electronics, automobiles, and specifically electric vehicles, and defense sectors, as this growth in these industries will drive the demand for semiconductor materials.
