Electrostatic Chucks Market Analysis

An electrostatic chuck, often referred as ESC or E-Chucks, is a device used in semiconductor manufacturing processes to hold semiconductor wafers firmly in place during manufacturing steps. The working principle of electrostatic chucks is based on electrostatic attraction to protect the wafer without using any mechanical means such as, mechanical clamping or vacuum station.

Electrostatic chuck offers many advantages over traditional clamping or vacuum based method including control over the flatness of product, particle contamination, and enhanced thermal performance. Due to the increasing demand for electronic devices globally, the production has been recorded to increase by 3% every year with an estimated value of USD 436.8 billion. Electrostatic chuck being an important component in electronic devices, drives a significant surge in market growth. Kyocera, NKG Insulators, Ltd, and Creative Technology Corporation are some of the significant parties in the global market for electrostatic Chucks.
