Solvents accounted for the largest share in the type segment of the semiconductor chemical market in terms of value & volume.

Solvents dominate the market for semiconductor chemicals, mainly because of their important function in several crucial processes involved in semiconductor fabrication. By removing impurities and particles that can jeopardize the integrity of the finished product, these chemicals are vital for assuring the cleanliness and purity of semiconductor components. For this task, solvents, particularly high purity solvents, are essential because even minute impurities can cause flaws. In addition, they are crucial to photolithography procedures, where they aid in the dissolution and removal of photoresists that define the complex circuit designs on semiconductor wafers. Precision in the manufacture of semiconductors depends on their capacity to remove certain materials in a selective manner. Solvents are also important in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) procedures, which are necessary for planarizing the semiconductor surface and ensuring that various layers adhere properly, thereby reducing defects and enhancing overall chip performance.

Photoresists accounted for the largest share in the application segment of the semiconductor chemical market in terms of value & volume.

Photoresists have the biggest market share in the semiconductor chemicals industry due to their critical function in photolithography operations that create and pattern complicated circuits on semiconductor wafers. These materials are critical for transferring detailed designs onto semiconductor surfaces, a critical step in chip production. The capacity to precisely and reliably describe circuit features is critical as semiconductor components continue to reduce in size. Photoresists give the essential level of control and precision to meet the industry's ever-increasing needs for smaller, quicker, and more powerful microchips. Their dominance is further cemented by continual advances in photoresist technology, which allows semiconductor manufacturers to push the frontiers of miniaturization and innovation in the area, making photoresists a cornerstone of the semiconductor chemicals business.
