Global Semiconductor Ultrapure Water Equipment Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

Semiconductor ultrapure water equipment is a complete set of system equipment used to produce ultrapure water in semiconductor factories.Ultrapure water is produced by removing impurities from drinking, river or process water, which contains virtually no impurities other than hydrogen ions and hydroxides, to meet high quality standards, including >18.2MΩ-cm (18.2 Mohm) resistivity and other parameters down to parts per trillion, such as Selective Contaminant Extraction (SCE) and RO Infinity (ROI), combined with Electrodeionization (EDI) in the makeup, primary and polishing stages, to reliably produce ultrapure water.

Ultrapure water is widely used in semiconductor equipment production for all wet processing operations, including wafer cleaning, etching or polishing. More advanced techniques use ultrapure water for immersion lithography. Therefore, the purity of ultrapure water is critical to the semiconductor manufacturing process because it is in direct contact with the silicon wafers. Organic matter (TOC), particulate matter, bacteria, metals, and anions are other major impurities that affect product yield. Ultrapure water is mainly used for cleaning silicon wafers and semiconductor materials, preparing plating solutions, cooling equipment, oxidation of silicon wafers, etc.

Ultrapure water for semiconductors is generally not easy to store, and it will affect the purity of water (such as TOC, particulate matter, etc.), and most of it will not be supplied directly alone. In this case, semiconductor factories are generally equipped with special ultrapure water equipment to facilitate timely use and maintain the purity of water to the greatest extent. Semiconductor ultrapure water equipment manufacturers around the world mainly include Kurita, Organo Corporation, Nomura Micro Science, SKion Water, Veolia, TG Hilyte Environmental Technology, Shenzhen Ultrapure Water Technology, Xylem (Evoqua), etc. In 2023, the top five manufacturers in the world accounted for approximately 73% of the market share, and the market was highly concentrated.

The semiconductor industry is expected to continue to grow in the next few years due to the strong drive of advanced electronic products (especially AI) and technology demand, which will become a key factor in promoting the expansion of the ultrapure water market. As semiconductor manufacturing technology continues to move towards finer process nodes such as 2nm and 3nm, the application of ultrapure water in semiconductor production is expected to grow significantly to meet the demand for extremely high purity water in these cutting-edge processes.
