CTOnews.com, October 30, the latest data from the International Association of Semiconductor equipment and Materials (SEMI) show that the global silicon wafer shipment area reached a new record of 3.741 billion square inches in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 1.0% month-on-month and 2.5% year-on-year.

CTOnews.com learned that SEMI said that despite the macroeconomic impact on the semiconductor industry, shipments of silicon wafers were still up from the previous quarter. Because of its vital role in the broader cyclical industry, silicon wafers remain confident about long-term growth.

The report points out that silicon wafers are the basic material for most semiconductors, and semiconductors are an important part of all electronic products, including computers, telecommunications products and consumer equipment. Highly engineered wafers can be up to 12 inches in diameter and can be used as substrate materials for the manufacture of most semiconductor devices or chips.

Previously, SEMI predicted that global semiconductor manufacturers'8-inch fab capacity was expected to increase by 20 per cent between 2021 and 2025. Among them, the production capacity of automobile and power semiconductor wafer factories will be the first with a growth rate of 58 per cent, followed by MEMS growth of 21 per cent, foundry growth of 20 per cent and simulated growth of 14 per cent.
