ceiling-mounted transport systems (OHT systems) to transport the wafers from one operation point to
next by the shortest route. It increases the productivity and freeze up space in clean room. Research
efforts by the market players coupled with increasing investments will intensify the demand for silicon
wafers thereby supporting the market growth. For instance, Intel started 450MM manufacturing facility
at Arizona, U.S.
Global silicon wafer market is marked by the mergers and acquisitions strategies. For instance, in
December 2016, Taiwanese GlobalWafers acquired the US-based SunEdison SEMI in order to expand
production capabilities and to get greater access to the Korea and European countries. Additionally,
GlobalWafers will get access to SOI product technologies of SunEdison SEMI.
