This report provides detailed information on various ceramics used for semiconductor equipment and processes.  A full listing of current IP is provided.  Market size, market share, and growth statistics are included.  

This report deals with ceramics such as Al2O3 and ALN used in the semiconductor industry, primarily by and for OEM suppliers, for sale to wafer fab applications. It does not include specifics for the packaging ceramics (hi-rel) business. While Silicon Carbide (SiC) is considered a ceramic, and is mentioned in this report, we offer a separate report for SiC and for Quartz used in these similar applications.
