Focus on Key Driving Factors
- Growth in Consumer Electronics Industry: The consumption of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, had increased over the years and one of the primary factors driving the growth of consumer electronics is the growing preference for smart electronic devices. Semiconductor chips, which are used as components in power devices, compactness optical sensors, and light emitters, are the basic requirement for the manufacture of these smart electronic devices.
- Functional Defects and Complexities: The semiconductor equipment used in the manufacturing of semiconductors and integrated circuits. Advanced semiconductor fabrication can involve thousands of process steps, which makes the procedure very complex. Each piece of equipment at a process step has the potential to fail, resulting in a default and possibly reducing production yield. The fabrication of advanced semiconductors can involve thousands of parts sourced from a variety of suppliers. Some common fabrication equipment issues include corrosion, pressure regulator malfunction, or improperly sized or fitted seals. Any of these issues could have potentially large impacts on fabrication equipment performance and product quality. So, the functional defects and complexities can happen any time and can lead to delay in the manufacturing of products and delivery, which would directly disturb the supply chain.
- Escalation of Internet of Things (IOT): IoT depends on sensors and MEMS technology, they can monitor actions of connected objects and machines. IoT applications cannot work without sensors and integrated circuits, so all IoT devices would require semiconductors. This would result in increased demand for sensors, connectivity, memory, microcontrollers, and integrated circuits, which could put pressure on the existing semiconductor supply chain. Semiconductor manufacturers that choose to meet IoT demands now would be well positioned to take advantage of this developing market. Hence, the increasing penetration of IOT devices would boost the growth of the semiconductor equipment market.
