Wafer Bonding System Market

The market for wafer bonding systems is directly related with the increasing demand regardingICs, silicon wafers, and other similar modules. The rate of growth of the wafer bonding system market widely relies on the pattern of end users, for example, mechatronic item producers, robotic organizations, manufacturers of solar cells, and others.

The consistently rising demand regarding wafer bonding systems is significantly determined by the increased production graph slope in advanced MEMS device, CMOS picture sensors, and propelled packaging. Furthermore, developing utilization of direct bonding for the making of Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafers, actuators, and sensors pushes the development of wafer bonding system market. Moreover, the most alluring driver behind the growth in market is the compatibility of process, improved vacuum bonding ability, stability, and others.

Increasing Consumer Demand to Benefit Market Growth

But, constrained bonding and its quality, combined with limitations on post handling after the process of bonding are some significant restrictions which may restrict the demand in global wafer bonding system market.

• Fusion bonding or direct bonding, is a wafer bonding process that exclude any extra middle layer for producing chemical bonds between the surfaces of required material. Direct bonding is for the most part utilized for the making of actuators, Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafers, and sensors.
• A benefit of direct bonding is that the wafers turned out with clean and smooth surfaces having an immediate contact with minimal pressure. The most alluring element fueling the development of the section is the collection of favorable circumstances offered by this procedure, for example, better bonding quality, improved temperature stability, process similarity to semiconductor innovation, and capacity to bond in vacuum or diverse gases as well.
• In addition, a rising graph for the demand in consumer electronics for example, computers and smart phones is foreseen to affect the segment of semiconductor wafer bonding positively.

Wafer Bonding System Market - Overview

Wafer bonding system is a packing technology that is used on the wafer-level. It is used for the packaging of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), optoelectronics, microelectronics, and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). A wafer bonder binds two wafers together, typically by means of provisional bonding using a bonding agent or by long-lasting bonding of the oxide film surfaces using a self-bonding technique. The wafer bonding system contains fusion bonding or direct bonding, eutectic bonding, anodic bonding, and adhesive bonding. Direct bonding is mostly used for the development of sensors, silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers, and actuators. Anodic bonding is used to seal glass to silicon wafers in microfluidics and electronics.
