Memory and Logic (TSV) Application to Dominate the Market

  • Companies have been seeking to find a single universal memory that combines the benefits of SRAM, Flash memory, and DRAM. New technologies in memory devices, such as Magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), Phase-change random access memory (PCRAM), and Resistive random-access memory (RRAM), are expected to substitute most of the traditional technologies. This shift in the market has necessitated the change in manufacturing equipment dynamics, forcing equipment providers to develop effective designs for the device manufacturers.
  • As data generation grows significantly, cloud data centers need order-of-magnitude enhancements in the speed and power consumption of the data pathways linking servers and storage systems. PCRAM and ReRAM are fast, low-power, and high-density memories, which can be used as “storage-class memory” to fill the widening price-performance gap between server DRAM and storage.
  • The demand for minimum power consumption, decreasing heat, and increasing smartphone usage in the emerging countries is expected to drive the utilization of DRAM (dynamic RAM) in mobile devices. Furthermore, the evolution of 5G technology, coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) powered mobile applications, demands low-power cellular memory solutions. Networking devices, like servers, CPUs, GPUS by enterprises, and cloud service providers, also provide memory manufacturers opportunities.
  • At the Data Center Investment Conference & Expo South, it was discussed that 4,000 new data centers might be needed to accommodate the data growth and the need for edge computing across the United States, by 2020. With the volume of digital traffic expected to triple over the next five years, the dependency on the data centers is expected to increase significantly, and thus, providing scope for memory ICs for networking devices, like servers.
  • With TSV (Through Silicon Via) technology gaining popularity for low power and high-performance devices, like mobile, and other wireless and networking devices, the scope for stealth dicing equipment increases. As TSV enables 2.5/3D package for the applications mentioned above, the equipment becomes handy for TSV Assembly/Packaging (chip-to-chip and chip-to-wafer assembly with stealth dicing and other processes). A combination of laser dicing and blade dicing is used in Memory and Logic.
  • Buyers of the thinning and dicing equipment, like Samsung, GigaDevice Semiconductor, SK Hynix, and Micron, have invested in new fabs and fab equipment between 2017-2018, which the DRAM industry was projected to experience significant two-year growth. However, with the market entering a phase of oversupply earlier than predicted, the price declines occurred starting in the third quarter of 2018.
  • With relatively less spending by memory manufacturers, the device manufacturers would only need a certain amount of DRAMs to meet the performance requirements for electronic devices. The companies’ capital expenditure trend is expected to remain slow over the forecast period, thus impacting the revenues of the thinning and dicing equipment.

China to Hold a Major Market Share of the Market

  • The growing adoption of smart electronic devices is encouraging manufacturing prospects. Necessary incorporation of electronics in automotive applications is one of the principal drivers driving the growth of the China Dicing Equipment Market.
  • The integration of artificial intelligence, IoT, and connected devices across multiple end-use verticals is anticipated to encourage the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market growth in the projection period. China has grown a global manufacturing center with the presence of various manufacturing industries.
  • As semiconductor supply chains begin changing due to the US-China trade conflict, India is leveraging the benefit. According to stats from the United Nations Comtrade database, annual IC imports into India in 2018 jumped by 281% to USD 8 billion.
  • According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) and SIA Estimates, the Asia Pacific region, which includes markets like China, has surpassed all other regional markets in sales, as electronic equipment production shifted to the area. It has multiplied in size since then – from USD 39.8 billion in 2001 to over USD 282 billion in 2018.
  • With the growth in electronic equipment production across the region, the biggest country market across the Asia Pacific region is China. According to the WSTS and SIA Estimates, China is the sole largest country of APAC region, whereby accounting for 56% of the Asia Pacific market and is capturing 34% of the total global market in 2018.
  • According to the SEMI, a notable global association helping the electronics industry’s manufacturing supply chain, more than 90% of the factories constructed in the world were located in the Asia Pacific. It is estimated that most of these factories are concentrated in China. With initiatives for Tokyo Olympics 2020 already in motion, the semiconductor manufacturing region is anticipated to open up better possibilities for the dicing equipment shortly.
