Description
This Critical Materials Report™ primarily focuses on the markets of silicon parts used in semiconductor process equipment, including silicon base materials and silicon equipment components for wafer process tools used for semiconductor device manufacturing. These parts are considered consumables, given that they are eventually require replacing after repeated use. Details on the supply-chain from high purity poly-silicon, base material manufacturers, and silicon fabricators are provided.
