Thinning grinding wheels are specialized abrasive tools designed for the precise thinning of semiconductor wafers, particularly in the production of advanced integrated circuits and power devices. These wheels are integral to the back-end processing stages of semiconductor manufacturing, where they are employed to reduce wafer thickness, thereby enhancing the performance and miniaturization of electronic components.​
The global key manufacturers of Thinning Grinding Wheels include DISCO, Saint-Gobain, TOKYO SEIMITSU, EHWA DIAMOND, Asahi Diamond Industrial Co.,Ltd., SAESOL, KINIK COMPANY, A.L.M.T. Corp., Sinomach-pi, Suzhou Sail Science & Technology Co., Ltd., etc. In 2024, the global top 10 players had a share approximately 68.0% in terms of revenue.
Asia-Pacific stands as the dominant region in this market, accounting for about 80% of global consumption. This is attributed to the region's robust semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure, with countries like China, Taiwan, and South Korea leading in production capacities.​
In terms of wafer size, 300mm wafers constitute the largest segment, representing approximately 80% of the market share. The shift towards larger wafer sizes is driven by the industry's pursuit of higher yield and cost efficiency, as larger wafers allow for the production of more chips per unit area.​
Market Driving Factors
Advancements in Semiconductor Technology: The continuous evolution of semiconductor devices, including the adoption of 5G, AI, and IoT technologies, necessitates the production of smaller, more efficient chips. This drives the demand for precise wafer thinning to achieve the desired performance metrics.
Technological Innovations in Grinding Tools: Developments in grinding wheel materials and bonding techniques have enhanced grinding efficiency and tool longevity. Innovations such as ultra-fine diamond abrasives and resin-bonded wheels contribute to improved surface finishes and reduced material wastage.
Expansion of Semiconductor Fabrication Facilities: Significant investments in new fabrication plants by major semiconductor manufacturers are propelling the need for high-precision grinding wheels to meet the increasing production demands.
Growing Demand for 300mm Wafers: The industry's shift towards larger wafer sizes for better yield and cost efficiency is increasing the demand for thinning grinding wheels tailored for 300mm wafers.
Market Restraints
High Initial Investment Costs: The specialized equipment and technology required for wafer grinding are capital-intensive, posing a barrier for smaller semiconductor manufacturers or those in emerging markets.
Technical Complexity: The wafer grinding process demands skilled operators and precise control to avoid damaging the delicate wafers. Inadequate handling can lead to increased production costs and reduced yields.
Supply Chain Challenges: Fluctuations in the availability and cost of raw materials, such as diamond abrasives, impact the production and pricing of grinding wheels. Additionally, global supply chain issues can affect the timely availability of these specialized tools.
Environmental and Regulatory Constraints: Stringent environmental regulations and the need for sustainable manufacturing practices are compelling companies to develop eco-friendly grinding solutions, which may require additional research and development investments.
