Market Overview
Nitrogen trifluoride is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable gas, known by the chemical formula NF3. It has increasing use as an etchant in microelectronics. Nitrogen trifluoride offers several benefits over alternative cleaning agents, such as high etch rates, high selectivity, carbon-free etching, and minimal residual contamination. Growing demand for consumer electronics is expected to fuel the nitrogen trifluoride market. Semiconductors are indispensable components in consumer electronics products where it is used for cleaning silicon wafers of semiconductors. Apart from this, Nitrogen trifluoride has etchant application in flat panel displays & solar cells. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing segment both in terms of consumption and utilization.
Market Segmentation
The Global nitrogen trifluoride market is segmented based on the type of packaging and application.
Based on the type of packaging, the global nitrogen trifluoride market is segmented into four types – Ton cylinder, ISO container, Bundles, and 47L cylinder. Nitrogen trifluoride manufacturers package a material into different sizes based on the customer requirement.
Based on the application, the global nitrogen trifluoride market is segmented into semiconductor, flat panel displays, and solar cells. The semiconductor chip accounted to be the largest application segment in 2016 and it expected to remain so in the forecast period. Flat panel display is expected to be the fastest growing application of nitrogen trifluoride market, owing to less power consumption and compact size. Solar cells application is expected to rise in the forecast year owing to lucrative government initiatives and rising demand for green energy.
