Hard Mask Market Projections Point To USD 3,187.12 Million Valuation By 2033 | Riding On A Strong 7.41% CAGR

Newark, Sept. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As per the report published by the Brainy Insights, the global Hard Mask market is expected to grow from USD 1,559.38 Million in 2023 to USD 3,187.12 Million by 2033, at a CAGR of 7.41% during the forecast period 2024-2033.

Hardmask has its application as an etch mask as an alternative to polymer or other soft resist material in semiconductor processing. Spin hard masks (SOH) are membranes used inside photoresists and act as a protective layer in the etching process. They also ensure the circuit is transferred properly to the needed membrane for fine pattern accuracy.

Scope of Hard Mask Market

Competitive Strategy

To enhance their market position in the global Hard Mask market, the key players are now focusing on adopting the strategies such as product innovations, mergers & acquisitions, recent developments, joint ventures, collaborations, and partnerships.

. In April 2024: Applied Materials developed a novel hard mask known as Draco in 2021. It increases the etch sensitivity by over 30 per cent and thus helps in shorter mask stack and offers a significant improvement in local crucial dimension uniformity of the capacitor holes.

Market Growth & Trends

The semiconductor market is growing globally via the key regions: Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. Among the regions, Asia-Pacific will gain massive market share due to the semiconductor industry's growth, followed by North America and Europe. This can be attributed to expanded urbanization and rising per-capita income. Consumers in the mentioned regions are increasingly investing in smart and miniature devices. The growing per capita income of people in developed and developing countries has changed their lifestyles. They like products that improve their work and living standards. This trend has led to a growing demand for electronic goods. As the demand increased for electronic goods, the companies are expanding their portfolio and providing advanced devices. The growing demand for semiconductors for electronic goods has led to the demand for the fabrication of MEMS using silicon wafers. This helps the semiconductor chip manufacturers to infuse various functionalities in a single device and, therefore, improve the efficiency of the operation part of the company and hence gain more shares within the electronic industry. Heavy investment in Research and Development (R&D) marks the upcoming years in the semiconductor market as that would lead to better products and, thus, a better market share. A hard mask is required when the material being etched is an organic polymer. The thing used for etching that material will also etch the photoresist, which is used for defining the pattern as it is also an organic polymer. For instance, it happens in the design of low-k dielectric insulation layers, which are applied in VLSI fabrication. Polymers can be etched easily by chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, and other reactive gases used in plasma etching. A spin-on carbon hard mask is done by dispersing and laminating the liquid state materials on the substrate by rotational motion. It thus has the advantage of a simple process with many material options to select. This process is in demand as it is cost-efficient and gives uniform quality in comparison to CVD process-based hard masks.
