Research and Markets: Global Rapid Thermal Processing Equipment Market 2014-2018: Includes SWOT Analysis on Key Vendors

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wv3r26/global_rapid) has announced the addition of the "Global Rapid Thermal Processing Equipment Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast the Global Rapid Thermal Processing Equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 2.5 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing adoption of mobile devices. The Global Rapid Thermal Processing Equipment market has also been witnessing the increasing number of innovations by customers. However, the cyclical nature of the industry could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

Key vendors dominating this space are Applied Materials Inc., Dainippon Screen Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Excico SAS (News - Alert), Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc., Mattson Technology Inc., and Ultratech Inc.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Semiconductor manufacturers continuously innovate in order to sustain competition, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve product efficiency. For instance, the chip features have reduced from 45nm to 22nm; DRAM memory manufacturers have shifted to 3x node production with development for 2x node devices, chips with high dielectric constant materials, and fin-fet or tri-gate transistors. All these innovations by the customers require highly complicated rapid thermal processing equipment. Thus, the increasing number of innovations by the semiconductor manufacturers will tend to increase the demand for rapid thermal processing equipment.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the increasing adoption of mobile devices. Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented growth in the adoption of mobile devices. The market for portable devices such as cell phones, smartphones, notebook PCs, tablets, ultrabooks, and PDAs has been increasing among consumers. This increased demand for mobile devices is leading to a consequential rise in the demand for semiconductor process control systems, as it is vital for the functioning of mobile devices.
