Description

The global Semiconductor Grade Etching Gas market size is predicted to grow from US$ 989 million in 2025 to US$ 1648 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2025 to 2031.

Electronics manufacturing uses both wet and dry etching, but for different processes, much like using course- and fine-toothed saws to make different size and different quality cuts. In wet etching, aqueous solutions of acids or bases are used to quickly remove large amounts of material, or to completely remove a particular material. Dry etching uses plasma-activated etchant gases, usually containing halogen atoms, to selectively remove a portion of a material with greater precision and accuracy than wet etching can achieve. It is the dry etching process, often referred to as reactive ion etching or RIE.

The etching process requires a chemical reaction between the electron gas and the etched material. The etching process requires a large amount of fluorocarbon gases, such as hexafluoroethane, carbon tetrafluoride, trifluoromethane, octafluorocyclobutane, octafluorobutane, etc. The etched gas undergoes a chemical reaction with the etched material, resulting in the elimination of the etched material. In the etching process of wafer manufacturing, especially in the dry etching process, in order to achieve directional etching, it is necessary to use electronic special gases to form plasma under ionization conditions. The plasma undergoes chemical or physical reactions with the etched material to remove a portion of the etched material. Different electron gases are also used for reactions in different etching targets.

The commonly used etching gases include fluorinated and chlorinated gases, as well as oxygen-containing gases and some rare gases.

In the field of electronic semiconductors, etching gases are widely used in industries such as integrated Circuits, liquid crystal panels, LED and photovoltaics. Among them, integrated circuit manufacturing is the most important application. In recent years, downstream industry technologies have rapidly changed, especially in the field of integrated circuit manufacturing, where process nodes have been continuously reduced, ranging from 28nm to 5nm processes, and wafer sizes from 8-inch to 12-inch wafers. As a key material in integrated circuit manufacturing, with the rapid iteration of downstream industrial technology, the requirements for purity and accuracy of special gases continue to improve.

Asia Pacific is the region with the largest demand for semiconductor grade etching gases. Etching gases mainly include fluorine containing gas, chlorine containing gas, oxygen containing gas and other types. And the fluorine containing gas is the most common. Fluorinated containing gas include the following gases: CF4, NF3, SF6, CH2F2, CHF3, C2F6, C3F8, C4F8, C5F8, HF, etc. Silicon wafer etching gases are mainly fluorine-containing gases, but they are isotropic and have poor selectivity.
