(1) Overview of the semiconductor materials industry

Materials and equipment are the cornerstone of the semiconductor industry and the engine that drives innovation in integrated circuit technology. Semiconductor materials are in the upstream of the entire semiconductor industry chain, which plays an important supporting role in the development of the semiconductor industry, and has the characteristics of large industrial scale, many subdivided industries, high technical threshold, large R&D investment, and long R&D cycle.

Semiconductor materials are an important support for the semiconductor industry

Source: SEMI, WSTS, SIA

First, the scale of the industry is large. Semiconductor materials are mainly divided into wafer fabrication materials and packaging materials. According to SEMI, 2022 is half in the world

Conductor materials market sales increased 8.9% to $72.7 billion, surpassing the previous market high of $66.8 billion set in 2021.

In 2023, the global semiconductor materials market sales decreased by 8.2% to $66.7 billion due to the environmental impact of the entire semiconductor industry. It is large from the material

In 2023, the global sales of wafer fabrication materials and packaging materials will be $41.5 billion and $25.2 billion, respectively, accounting for global semiconductors

The proportion of sales of bulk materials was about 62% and 38%, respectively; From the perspective of regional distribution, Taiwan and Chinese mainland are the top two semiconductors in the world

Second, there are many subdivisions. The semiconductor materials industry is the industrial chain with the most subdivisions in the semiconductor industry chain, in which wafer manufacturing materials include silicon wafers, photomasks, photoresists, photoresist auxiliary materials, process chemicals, electronic special gases, polishing slurry and polishing pads, targets and other materials, packaging materials include lead frames, packaging substrates, ceramic substrates, bonding wires, encapsulation materials, chip bonding materials and other packaging materials, each major category of materials includes dozens or even hundreds of specific products, and there are hundreds of sub-industries.

Third, the technical threshold is high, the R&D investment is large, and the R&D cycle is long. Because semiconductor materials, especially wafer manufacturing materials, play an important role in the manufacture of integrated circuit chips, and even some key materials directly determine the chip performance and process development direction, downstream customers have extremely demanding requirements for products, and require long-term test and demonstration work before online use, and will gradually increase the amount through a longer period after online use. In addition, the product needs to go through a long and difficult R&D stage before it can enter the test and demonstration stage, and a large amount of R&D investment is required in the R&D process.

(2) The subdivided industries to which the company's main products belong

In the manufacturing process of semiconductors, especially integrated circuits, the surface condition and cleanliness of wafers are one of the most important factors affecting the quality rate of wafers and the quality and reliability of devices, and surface technologies such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), wet cleaning, etching, and electrochemical deposition (electroplating) play a very key role. The company focuses on the core technology of micro-treatment technology and high-end chemical formulation on the surface of liquid and solid substrates

With the best solutions for processes and materials in the chip manufacturing process, we have successfully built three core competitiveness technology platforms: "Chemical Mechanical Polishing Slurry - Full Category Product Matrix", "Functional Wet Electronic Chemicals - Leading Technology Node Multi-product Line Layout", and "Electroplating Solution and Its Additives - Strengthening and Enhancing the Strategic Supply of High-end Electroplating Product Series". At present, the company's technology has covered the three key processes of "polishing, cleaning and deposition" in integrated circuit manufacturing, and the product portfolio can be widely used in the key cyclic repetitive processes such as polishing, cleaning, etching and deposition in the process of chip manufacturing and back-end advanced packaging, as well as the cleaning process connecting each process step.

The company's main products have been used in key cyclic repetition processes in the field of chip manufacturing and advanced packaging

? Chemical mechanical polishing slurry market situation

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a key technology in the advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, and its main working principle is that under a certain pressure and the presence of polishing slurry, the polished wafer moves relative to the polishing pad, and with the help of the mechanical grinding effect of nano abrasives and the chemical action of various chemical reagents, the surface of the polished wafer can meet the requirements of high flatness, low surface roughness and low defects. Depending on the requirements of different processes and technology nodes, each wafer goes through several or even dozens of CMP polishing process steps during the production process. Unlike traditional purely mechanical or purely chemical polishing methods, the CMP process achieves the removal of micro/nanoscale different materials on the wafer surface through a combination of surface chemistry and mechanical grinding, so as to achieve a highly (nanoscale) flattening effect on the wafer surface. CMP has become an indispensable planarization process for processes below 0.35 μm.

CMP process schematic

With the advancement of process nodes, the number and density of multi-layer cabling increases, and the number of CMP process steps increases, CMP technology becomes more and more important.

Its influence on the subsequent process yield is increasing. For example, the CMP process step required for the logic chip manufacturing process at the 14nm node

The number of bursts will increase from 10 to more than 20 at the 180nm technology node, and the logic chip manufacturing process at the 7nm and below technology nodes

The number of CMP process steps required was even more than 30. In addition, more advanced logic chip processes may require polishing new materials,

This brings more growth opportunities for polishing slurries. Similarly, for memory chips, with the evolution from 2D NAND to 3D NAND

The technological change will also nearly double the number of CMP process steps, driving the continuous and rapid growth of the demand for tungsten polishing slurry and other polishing slurries. In addition, the application of advanced packaging technology has enabled CMP to move from the front-end manufacturing of integrated circuits to the back-end packaging process, and has been widely used in processes such as through-silicon vias (TSV) and hybrid bonding.

Chemical mechanical polishing fluids are critical in CMP technology, accounting for more than 50% of the value of polishing materials, and their consumption varies with wafers

Yield and the number of CMP planarization process steps increase. Depending on the application, the polishing slurry can be divided into silicon substrate polishing slurry, copper and copper barrier polishing slurry, tungsten polishing slurry, dielectric material polishing slurry, cerium oxide abrasive-based polishing slurry, and through-silicon via (TSV) polishing slurry for advanced packaging. The polishing slurry is characterized by a wide variety, even if it is the same technology node and the same process section, there are different formulas according to different polishing objects and different customers' process and technical requirements.

ACCORDING TO TECHCET, THE GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR CMP POLISHING MATERIALS (INCLUDING POLISHING SLURRIES AND POLISHING PADS) IN 2024 ACCOUNT FOR A CLOSE PROPORTION OF POLISHING SLURRIES

60%) is valued at USD 3.42 billion and is expected to grow by 6% to USD 3.62 billion by 2025. With the continuous growth of global wafer production capacity

and the application of advanced technology nodes, new materials, and new processes require more CMP process steps, and TECHCET expects the global half by 2028

The conductor CMP polishing materials market size is expected to reach USD 4.4 billion, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2024-2028.

? Wet electronic chemicals market situation

Wet electronic chemicals are a general term for various high-purity electronic chemical materials used in multiple microelectronic/optoelectronic wet process links such as cleaning and etching, and the core processes involved in their production include separation and purification, analysis and testing, mixing, packaging and transportation technology, etc., with high technology

Barriers. Wet electronic chemicals are mainly divided into general-purpose wet chemicals and functional wet chemicals, among which general-purpose wet chemicals mainly include acids, alkalis, organic solvents and other products with a main body purity greater than 99.99% and impurity content lower than ppm; Functional wet chemicals refer to formula or compound chemicals prepared by the compound process to meet the special process needs in the wet process, mainly including various etching solutions, cleaning solutions and photoresist supporting reagents (stripping solutions, diluents, edge removers, developers), etc. Unlike mixed general-purpose wet chemicals, which can be mixed and used by semiconductor manufacturers themselves, functional wet chemicals need to be developed and produced by electronic chemical manufacturers and supplied to semiconductor manufacturers in the form of specific products.

The company focuses on the field of high-end functional wet electronic chemicals for front-end wafer manufacturing and back-end wafer-level packaging of integrated circuits, and its products involve cleaning fluids, stripping fluids and etching fluids. Cleaning solution is used in the cleaning process of semiconductor manufacturing to remove particles, metal or ionic conductive pollutants and inorganic and organic pollutants with corrosive effects, etc., according to its application process, cleaning solution can be divided into cleaning solution after chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), cleaning solution after etching of aluminum process, cleaning solution after etching of copper process, cleaning solution after removal of HKMG false gate, cleaning liquid for packaging process, etc. In order to minimize the impact of impurities on chip yield, the current chip manufacturing process has set up cleaning processes after repetitive processes such as lithography, etching, ion implantation, deposition, polishing, etching, etching, and the number of cleaning steps accounts for more than 30% of all chip manufacturing process steps, which is the largest proportion of all chip manufacturing process steps, and with the advancement of technology nodes, the number and importance of cleaning processes will continue to increase, and the demand for cleaning liquid will also increase accordingly in the case of achieving the same chip manufacturing capacity. Photoresist stripping solution is a reagent used to remove photoresist on silicon wafers after exposure and development and subsequent processes, and the photoresist is not easy to be removed after different processes such as wet etching, dry etching, ion implantation, etching, etching, etching, etching, etching, The etching technology used in the semiconductor manufacturing process mainly includes wet etching and dry etching, and the wet chemicals used in the etching process are etching fluids.

Cleaning and etching are important processes in the semiconductor manufacturing process

With the continuous development of integrated circuit technology, process complexity and technical challenges are increasing, the control requirements for impurity content, particle number, cleaning and removal ability, etching selectivity, process uniformity, batch stability and consistency of wet electronic chemicals are getting higher and higher. In addition, due to the continuous introduction of new structures, new devices and new materials, the differences between mainstream chip manufacturers are also increasing, and meeting the customized needs of customers has become an important trend for the future development of functional wet electronic chemicals. ACCORDING TO TECHCET, THE GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR WET ELECTRONIC CHEMICALS MARKET SIZE WILL GROW BY 8% TO $5.5 BILLION IN 2024. Benefiting from the progress of chip technology nodes and the maintenance of global chip production capacity

TECHCET expects the global semiconductor wet electronic chemicals market to exceed $6.6 billion in 2028, with a boom in 2024-2028

The combined growth rate was 6.1%.

? Electroplating solution and additives market

As one of the key process technologies in integrated circuit manufacturing, electrochemical deposition (electroplating) technology is the cornerstone of metal interconnection, which is mainly used in the Damascus copper interconnection electroplating process of integrated circuit manufacturing and the electroplating processes such as Bumping, RDL, and TSV. With the continuous reduction of transistor size and the 130nm process, the aluminum interconnect process can no longer meet the needs of integrated circuit integration, speed and reliability, and copper has gradually replaced aluminum as the main material for metal interconnect. Because copper is difficult to dry etching, the traditional metal interconnection process is no longer suitable, and the copper plating technology with the inlay process has become the main preparation process for copper interconnect, which is also known as the Damascus copper interconnection process in the industry. The Damascus copper interconnect process is widely used in chip manufacturing for wafers above 8 inches and below 130nm.

In the copper interconnect plating process, chips with diffusion barrier and seed layers are submerged in a high-purity electroplating solution containing additives, and the electroplating process fills the etched interconnect vias and trenches. Copper interconnect plating additives, including accelerators, inhibitors and leveling agents, play a key role in the plating process, allowing different components to interact with each other to achieve bottom-to-top filling as well as coating grains, appearance and flatness.

In addition to the copper interconnect process for chip manufacturing, electroplating solutions and additives are also used in advanced packaging processes such as Bumping, RDL, and TSV. TSV

At the heart of the technology is the drilling of holes in the wafer and the copper plating of the through-silicon vias, which enables the interconnection and stacking of wafers, improving the integration and performance of the chips without continuing to reduce the linewidth of the chips. Compared to the chip manufacturing copper interconnect process, TSV plating is larger in size, typically requires longer deposition times, higher plating rates, and multiple process steps, and the cost of copper interconnect plating solution and additives also accounts for a higher proportion of the total cost of the TSV process.

At present, semiconductor electroplating is not limited to the deposition of copper wire, but also tin, tin-silver alloy, nickel, gold and other metals, but the deposition of metal copper still dominates. Copper wires can reduce the interconnection impedance, reduce the power consumption and cost of the device, and improve the speed, integration, and device density of the chip. The increase in interconnect layers brought about by advanced logic device technology nodes, the increasing use of rewiring layers and copper pillar structures in advanced packaging, and the overall growth of semiconductor devices that make extensive use of copper interconnect technology are driving the growth of the electroplating solution and its additives market.

ACCORDING TO TECHCET, THE GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR PLATING CHEMICALS MARKET SIZE WAS APPROXIMATELY $972 MILLION IN 2024, AND GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR PLATING BY 2025

The school market size will grow to $1.06 billion, up 9% from 2024. With the use of advanced packaging and the next generation of logic devices, metals

As the number of interconnect layers increases, TECHCET expects semiconductor plating chemistries in the advanced packaging and copper interconnect segments to grow at a CAGR of 8% and 4.5%, respectively, from 2024 to 2028.
