A wafer is a thin slice (substrate) of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon, used for the fabrication of integrated circuits. These wafers are basically used in photovoltaics and manufacturing of solar cells. Wafer testing is a process performed during semiconductor device fabrication.
The testing is performed with the help of test equipment called as wafer prober. A wafer prober is an automatic test equipment used for electrical testing of wafers in the semiconductor development and manufacturing process. The increasing demand of Silicon on Insulator (SOI) and glass wafers in consumer electronics is the major factor behind the growth of wafer testing services market.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic Outbreak on Semiconductor Wafers Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 virus in December 2019 has spread to almost 200+ countries worldwide. The impact of COVID-19 has already started to negatively affect semiconductor market. The spread of coronavirus has directly affected the production and demand of semiconductor electronics. According to SEMI experts the sales of silicon wafer is expected to drop in the second half of 2020 with possible ripple effects on price negotiations in 2021.
The shipment of silicon wafer has leveled off from the start of year 2020 and the Y-o-Y growth rate had started declining. The global shipment of silicon wafer has been dropped by nearly 6%-8% in the first two quarters of 2020. The supply chain of silicon wafer got drastically affected as the domestic spread of the coronavirus hits the China’s silicon wafer manufacturing companies, who are among world leaders in this industry.
However, as per research estimates the Chinese silicon wafer manufacturers had recovered by the end of March 2020, also the global silicon wafer market would possibly recover soon and is estimated return to growth by Q2, 2021.
