Global Solid SiC Focus Rings for Semiconductor Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Solid SiC Focus Rings for Semiconductor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 155 million in 2025 to US$ 223 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2031.

A solid silicon carbide (SiC) focus ring is a critical component in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, used to ensure the uniform distribution of plasma during the etching process, thereby guaranteeing the precision and consistency of etching. Made from silicon carbide material, it offers excellent resistance to plasma etching, high-temperature endurance, and electrical properties similar to those of silicon wafers. It is particularly suitable for use in fluorine-containing plasma environments, significantly enhancing production efficiency and product quality.

As semiconductor technology continues to advance, plasma etching has become an indispensable part of semiconductor manufacturing processes. Due to the highly corrosive nature of plasma, it not only affects the wafer during the etching process but also causes significant corrosion to the process chamber and its internal components. Therefore, components in semiconductor processing equipment that come into direct contact with plasma must possess excellent resistance to plasma etching.

Among various materials, ceramic materials stand out due to their superior resistance to both physical and chemical corrosion, as well as their ability to withstand extremely high operating temperatures. These properties make ceramics ideal choices for critical components in semiconductor fabrication, particularly in single-crystal silicon wafer manufacturing and front-end processing steps. Examples of such ceramic materials include silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum nitride (AlN), alumina (Al₂O₃), and yttria (Y₂O₃). The selection of these materials depends on the specific working environment and quality requirements for the process products, such as resistance to plasma etching, electrical properties, and insulation characteristics. Key components in plasma etching equipment that utilize ceramic materials include viewports, electrostatic chucks, and focus rings.

The primary function of a focus ring is to ensure uniform distribution of plasma, thereby maintaining consistency and accuracy in the etching process. Additionally, the focus ring must have an electrical conductivity similar to that of silicon wafers to optimize the process. Traditionally, conductive silicon has been used as a focus ring material because of its nearly identical electrical conductivity to silicon wafers. However, conductive silicon exhibits poor resistance to etching in fluorine-containing plasmas, leading to severe corrosion of etching machine components after prolonged use, which significantly reduces production efficiency.

In contrast, silicon carbide (SiC) not only matches silicon's electrical conductivity but also demonstrates superior resistance to ion etching. This makes SiC a more suitable material for focus rings. Silicon carbide’s outstanding performance has led to its widespread application in various semiconductor processing equipment components. It excels in high-temperature endurance, making it suitable for core components in multiple deposition devices. Furthermore, its excellent thermal conductivity and good match with silicon wafers' electrical conductivity make it an ideal material for focus rings. Additionally, SiC's exceptional resistance to plasma etching enhances the efficiency and quality of semiconductor manufacturing processes.
