Global CMP Membranes Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

Global CMP Membranes Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

CMP Membrane is a key part attached on the back of semiconductor wafer inside CMP (Chemical mechanical polishing) device to absorb semiconductor wafer in the semiconductor wafer polishing process. As the membrane contacts the semiconductor wafer directly, it has no surface scratch, foreign substance, bubble and other defect at all. For its direct relationship with polishing, membrane thickness should be maintained constantly within ±0.1mm difference.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global CMP Membranes market finds that the global CMP Membranes market reached a value of USD 158.97 million in 2023. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 246.79 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.61% during the forecast period.

Market Driving Force

Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is a key technology to achieve wafer surface planarization in the integrated circuit manufacturing process. Different from traditional pure mechanical or pure chemical polishing methods, the CMP process uses the combination of surface chemical action and mechanical grinding technology to achieve the removal of micron/nano-level materials on the surface of the wafer, so as to reach the height of the wafer surface (nano-level) planarization effect, so that the next photolithography process can be carried out. CMP technology combines mechanical polishing and chemical polishing. Compared with other planarization technologies, it has great advantages. It can not only partially treat the surface of silicon wafers, but also planarize the entire surface of silicon wafers. It is currently the only technology that can take into account both global and local planarization of surfaces. In general, CMP avoids the surface damage caused by purely mechanical polishing and the disadvantages of slow polishing speed, poor surface flatness and poor polishing consistency caused by purely chemical polishing, and is widely used in advanced manufacturing processes. At present, with the widespread application of CMP technology, the market demand for CMP equipment continues to increase.

Market Risk

Brand Barriers
Downstream manufacturing companies are cautious about introducing new suppliers and the certification cycle is long. CMP Membranes is one of the important components in the CMP process. Semiconductor manufacturing companies are cautious about introducing new suppliers. In order to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality, a long certification cycle is required. After years of precipitation and long-term accumulation, the big brand companies in the CMP Membranes market have established a strict product quality control system and a strong product research and development system. In the process of continuous promotion of products and brands, the company finally won the recognition of CMP Membranes from customers. High brand barriers are one of the challenges facing the development of the industry.
