Industry Research Reports

The source of the wafer recycling comes from the monitor wafers and the dummy wafers but not the defect wafers manufactured by the semiconductor fab. Semiconductor manufacturing requires delicate processing. So, equipment environment checks and tests are carried out frequently. Monitor wafers and dummy wafers, which could not qualify as prime wafers, are used for these tasks. Following such use, many of these wafers have their film removed using a chemical solution, and then are re-polished to a mirror finish. After that, these reclaimed wafers can once again be used to check equipment environment, or in equipment operation tests.

The global market for Wafer Recycling Service was estimated to be worth US$ million in 2023 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ million by 2030 with a CAGR of % during the forecast period 2024-2030.

Foundries play a crucial role in semiconductor fabrication since they provide access to advanced processing equipment necessary for chip production. Wafer recycling involves recovering used silicon substrates after completion of wafer processing steps typically performed at foundry sites before disposal. This technique helps minimize waste generation by reusing valuable materials rather than incinerating or sending them to landfills. Foundry service refers to a range of process engineering services provided directly within a fab facility itself or remotely utilizing telecommunication links via secure encrypted connections. Together these services enable continuous improvement of yields and output quality through timely expert intervention resolving technical issues encountered in daily operation.
