Expanding Semiconductors Industry Aiding the Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) Market

Based on application, semiconductor represents one of the leading segments in the market due to the growing demand from the electronics industry. Nitrogen trifluoride is being increasingly adopted as a greener alternative to clean silicon wafers present in semiconductor chips. This is boosting the sales volume of the product and contributing to the industry growth.

Region-wise, the Asia-Pacific is a significant market for the product. The thriving consumer electronics market is augmenting the growth of the semiconductors industry in China and South Korea, which is driving the demand for nitrogen trifluoride in the region. Further, the growing flat panel displays industry, owing to the rise in the demand for LCDs, is also expected to aid the regional market growth, thus, aiding the overall industry.

Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3): Market Segmentation

Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), an inorganic compound, is a colourless gas with a characteristic musty odour. It is made of nitrogen and fluorine atoms and is non-flammable in nature. It acts as an oxidiser at increased temperatures. Owing to its stability at room temperature, it is easy and safe to handle. It is widely used in the electronics sector for cleaning applications as it provides several benefits over alternative cleaning agents, and also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Based on grade, the industry is divided into:

• Electronic
• Industrial

On the basis of application, the industry is segmented into:

• Semiconductor
• Flat Panel Displays
• Solar Cells
• LED
• Others

The regional markets for the product include:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Rising Environmental Concerns Fuelling the Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) Market Growth

The rising environmental concern among the consumers is pushing the growth of the industry forward. A variety of perfluorinated compounds used by electronics manufacturers to clean process chamber walls generate greenhouse gas emissions. As nitrogen trifluoride has lower emission rate, its use in cleaning processes can reduce equivalent greenhouse gas emissions by six or seven times, thus reducing global warming and protecting the earth's climate.

The market growth is higher in the developing regions owing to increased sales of laptops, mobile phones, digital cameras, and other consumer electronic devices. These products drive the demand for flat panel displays and semiconductors, and, in turn, aid the nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) industry. Owing to growing research and development activities, the product is expected witness an increased demand from new application sectors. This is projected to have a positive effect on the expansion of the industry.
