Why Is Demand Increasing?

• Advanced chip demand: Growing adoption of AI, IoT and 5G technologies is increasing demand for advanced semiconductor chips and precision etching processes.

• Dry etching transition: Manufacturers are shifting toward dry etching because of its higher precision and suitability for smaller semiconductor nodes.

• Manufacturing expansion: Semiconductor production investments in China, South Korea and Taiwan are strengthening demand for etching chemicals across Asia-Pacific.

Fab & Technology Pulse

Semiconductor etching is becoming increasingly important as manufacturers move toward smaller geometries and more complex device structures. The industry is witnessing a clear transition from conventional wet processes toward dry etching technologies that provide greater control over critical dimensions and anisotropic profiles. This shift is closely connected with advanced semiconductor manufacturing and EUV lithography, where process precision and material selectivity become increasingly demanding. At the same time, chemical suppliers are investing in high-purity formulations designed to meet increasingly stringent semiconductor fabrication requirements. Environmental considerations are also changing the technology roadmap, with manufacturers developing less hazardous and more sustainable etching solutions. As semiconductor, solar-cell, LED and display production expands, suppliers capable of combining purity, process control and environmental performance are positioned to capture opportunities across multiple downstream applications.
