Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cbdd8l/2015_critical) has announced the addition of the “2015 Critical Materials Report on Sputtering Targets for Semiconductor Device Applications” report to their offering.
This report provides business and technical information on sputter targets as used for semiconductor devices. Also included is information on supply chain / availability issues. Market forecasts and market share statistics are provided.
Rancho Santa Fe, CA, June 15: The 2014 market for semiconductor sputtering targets totaled $506M, up 3.8% from the prior year, according to a new report from Techcet Group, 2015Techcet Critical Materials Report on Sputtering Targets for Semiconductor Device Applications. The 2015 outlook is for an additional 6.7% growth to $540M, with tantalum driving 38% of the revenue from only 15% of the unit target shipments. The estimated CAGR of 5.5% will bring the market to a projected $662M by 2019.
Prices for Ta and W will continue to be heavily leveraged by raw materials cost and recycling. Prices for Cu, Ti and Al will be more strongly influenced by target fabrication costs. Penetration by Chinese target suppliers will provide additional pricing pressure to an already stressed market. The market for Ta targets is expected to decrease as 7nm logic devices ramp in production, as these products are expected to shift to CVD/ALD barriers. No material supply or price disruptions are anticipated during the forecast period.
The semiconductor sputtering targets market is dominated by JX Nippon at 55% share, followed by Honeywell Electronic Materials, Tosoh SMD and Praxair. Chinese suppliers Grikinand KFMI are gaining share primarily at the expense of Praxair and Tosoh.
The 2015 Sputter Targets Market Report provides strategic information to ensure business continuity and support category management of metal sputter target materials and associated supply chains. Included are technology trends and drivers, as well as supplier-related issues, supplier profiles and raw material concerns, e.g. the future of the Ta and Cu supplies. Current issues surrounding tungsten and tantalum are highlighted. A qualitative analysis of the cost contributions from various parts of the supply chain and manufacturing processes are discussed. In addition, the report touches on technology trends that are important to the targets market andmay impact target usage, like CVD and ALD metallization. Relevant regulatory issues are also discussed in this year’s report. This report is provided in presentation slide format rather than as atext manuscript.
