(IndustryNews247.Com, December 24, 2019 ) Market Overview
Patterning materials are photosensitive materials which are used in the fabrication of patterns and coatings on silicon wafers using the photolithography process. Patterning materials are generally referred to as photoresist owing to their sensitivity to light.
On reaction with light, the photoresist material changes its composition to produce the desired pattern. The final design is generated on the silicon wafer by transferring the pattern from the photoresist onto the wafer by either wet etching or dry etching processes.
Patterning materials are usually employed in the manufacturing of miniaturized sensors, MEMS devices, and lab on chip devices.
The Global Patterning Materials Market was worth USD YY million in 2018 and is forecasted to reach USD YY billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period (2019-2026).
