The Global Wafer Backgrinding Tape Market size is expected to reach $245.8 million by 2027, rising at a market growth of 3.8% CAGR during the forecast period.
Wafer backgrinding is a semiconductor device fabrication technique that reduces wafer thickness to facilitate integrated circuit stacking and high-density packing. It is the process of preparing the backside of the wafer for assembly by grinding it to the correct thickness.
According to the most recent market trends for wafer backgrinding tape, rising demand for wafer manufacture, increased focus on wafer surface protection during the grinding process, and expansion of the semiconductor industry are all factors driving market growth. Furthermore, an increase in wafer fabrication equipment and materials investment, particularly in developing nations such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea, would present attractive growth prospects to the market in the coming years.
Normal warpage is a frequent wafer mechanism. The inherent stress imposed by mechanical backgrinding is usually the source of this. There is a proportional relation of wafer warpage and mechanical stress, which states that the final thickness decreases due to excessive mechanical stress that can result in high wafer warpage. Although following assembly procedures contribute to warpage, they also respond to wafer technological advancement and trends.
A grinding wheel performs the backgrinding process automatically, following a set of criteria to ensure proper backgrinding. The wafer is usually cleaned continually with D/I water while backgrinding to remove dirt from the wafer. The wafer is returned to the cassette after being backgrounded, and the cycle is repeated for the next wafer. Spindle speed, spindle coolant water temperature and flow rate, D/I water temperature, beginning and final wafer thickness, and feed speeds are among the parameters set for backgrinding.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted almost all the domains of the business. The production process has come to a halt as a result of the lockdown imposed across various nations, which has disrupted the whole supply chain of electrical components. The pandemic has resulted in a drop in corporate confidence, stock market volatility, and a significant slowdown in supply chain activities.
The suspension of manufacturing operations in Asian and European countries under lockdown has resulted in a significant loss of business and money. The emergence of COVID-19 has had a significant influence on production and manufacturing activities, which has slowed the expansion of the semiconductor wafer market.
Mobile phones employ memory integrated circuits to store the phone's operating system and customisable features like the phone directory. Amplifiers, oscillators, time-counter computer memory, microprocessors, and other devices rely on them. Because of the ongoing innovations in the smartphone sector, the integrated circuit market is expected to increase rapidly. The intense rivalry among mobile manufacturers is motivating manufacturers operating in this market to launch advanced products with better performance.
AI, IoT, and wirelessly connected gadgets are all generating a lot of interest throughout the world. For example, Micron Technology provides high-capacity memory and multi-chip packages with AI training for use in embedded or cloud-based edge devices and mobile. To provide high degrees of integration, the bulk of these new inventions are outfitted with a single system on a chip (SoC).
There are many manufacturers who are introducing revolutionary series of UV curable dicing tapes with features that can be adjusted based on the operational procedure. The tape's strong adhesive secures wafers during dicing, while UV irradiation reduces the tape's adherence to make pick-up easier. This dicing tape is required for full-cut dicing of wafers in order to increase die quality, and it can be used on dies of various sizes. However, the high cost associated with these wafer backgrinding tape would restrict manufacturers from its adoption.
Based on type, the wafer backgrinding tape market is bifurcated into UV Curable and Non-UV. The UV curable segment acquired a significant revenue share in the wafer backgrinding tape market in 2020. UV Tape is a type of adhesive tape used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. It can be used to cover the surface of a semiconductor wafer during backgrinding and to hold the wafer in place with a ring frame during dicing. It can be used on a variety of materials, including ceramics, glass, sapphire, and so on.
On the basis of wafer size, the wafer backgrinding tape market is segmented into 12-inch, 8-inch, 6-inch and others. The 12-inch wafer segment garnered the highest revenue share in the wafer backgrinding tape market in 2020. The larger the wafer, the more difficult it is to manufacture, and the more chips these massive wafers cut out. At the moment, 12-inch wafers are the most common in the industry, accounting for roughly 70% of total production capacity.
