North America Semiconductor Etch Equipment Market Share

Market Share of North America Semiconductor Etch Equipment Industry

The North America Semiconductor Etch Equipment Market is competitive, and few key players contribute to the significant market share. For new entrants, it is difficult to enter this market due to the significant capital required, and significant businesses are pursuing mergers and acquisitions to expand their market dominance.

• In September 2021, Applied Materials, Inc. announced new solutions to help the world's leading silicon carbide (Sic) chipmakers shift from 150mm to 200mm wafer production, which nearly doubles die output per wafer, to help meet the world's growing demand for premium electric vehicle powertrains.
• In Feb 2022, Lam Research Corp announced a new suite of selective etch products that apply breakthrough wafer fabrication techniques and novel chemistries to support chipmakers in developing gate-all-around (GAA) transistor structures. The company's three products, such as Argos®, Prevos™, and Selis® etch portfolio, provide a powerful advantage in designing and manufacturing advanced logic and memory semiconductor solutions.
• In Feb 2022, Panasonic Corporation commercialized a double-sided full wiring transparent conductive film combining low resistance and high transmissivity, using its unique roll-to-roll construction method for the first time. Panasonic's original roll-to-roll fabrication approach allowed for a wiring width of 2 m, which was impossible to achieve with traditional etching procedures.
