In the electronics sector, hydrogen peroxide is a chemical that is frequently used for cleaning and etching purposes. Other notable uses include the production of flat panel displays and semiconductor wafer cleaning.
The consistent need for efficient and high-speed processing with reduced size has increased the number of process steps in the chemical mechanical planarization process to offer high polished semiconductor wafer surface. Due to its impressive cleaning properties offered by hydrogen peroxide has emerged as a choice of cleaning agent among semiconductor manufacturers.
The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution has increased the number of semiconductor chips and equipment. The introduction of IoT in semiconductors goes hand in hand with an exponential increase in the number of chips, giving the spotlight to novel chip manufacturing materials. Thus, the demand for hydrogen peroxide is also expected to gain momentum for cleaning purposes.
According to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at a 4.6% CAGR between 2022 and 2032.
Market share analysis of electronic grade hydrogen peroxide based on application and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the application segment, the etching sub-segment dominates with a 62.1% market share in 2022.
“Economies of Scale in Electronic Production Driving EGHP Market”
Manufacturers are concentrating on increasing their market share and presence in the highly competitive electronics industry by providing cutting-edge products in a shorter time frame, at a lower cost, with better product quality and higher performance.
Electronic manufacturers, especially those from European nations, are investing in Eastern production clusters to meet the market's growing need for smaller, thinner, and cost-effective electronic gadgets. Nowadays, wireless communications are evolving as the driving force behind convergence. Digital convergence has been posing significant design challenges to system manufacturers.
Moreover, the growing demand for the miniaturization of electronic components into a printed circuit board at low cost develops the relocation of their labor-intensive manufacturing facilities to the Asia Pacific. Thus, East Asia has become a strategic location for global electronics devices vis-à-vis consumption of electronic-grade chemicals including hydrogen peroxide.
“Need for Clean and Etch ICs Are Set to Propel the Demand for EGHP”
The need for IC (integrated circuit) process chemicals has been driven by growing silicon wafer surface area and fab capacity, and new developing technologies are expected to keep this trend going. The number of steps in the manufacturing process and the demand for etching and cleaning solutions have increased as a result of the complexity of semiconductors.
Wet processing is necessary for the semiconductor manufacturing process for the effective cleaning of small geometries and tools. EGHP, hydrogen fluoride, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, ultrapure water, and other wet chemicals are the main chemicals that match the purity level required by semiconductor makers. Additionally, as devices and systems become more connected, demand for sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and other semiconductor devices is expected to rise.
The desire for high levels of product purity from improved and future technologies will increase the use of wet process chemicals over the forecast period.
“Noxious Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide Products to Obstruct the Growth”
The main drawback to using hydrogen peroxide products is that they can be highly dangerous to handle if they contain hydrogen peroxide more than 3%. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide products should only be utilized in industrial or research settings, and even then, under close supervision.
Asphyxiation in poorly ventilated regions can be caused by inhaling concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the form of vapors, mists, or aerosols. Additionally, for the majority of fundamental materials, such as copper alloys or heavy metals, it speeds up thermal breakdown on its own. It should therefore be handled and maintained correctly to avoid any possible health hazards.
The chemical can be damaging to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system due to its potent oxidizing properties. Long-term exposure might cause hair whitening and skin and eye discomfort. To prevent health risks, they should be handled and stored carefully.
