the market distribution of wafer size
According to the latest market data, 12-inch wafers occupy a dominant position in the market, its share of about 65-70% of all wafers.
This figure not only reflects the trend of technological progress and market demand, but also demonstrates the irreplaceability of 12-inch wafers in the field of high-end manufacturing.
Meanwhile, the market share of 8-inch wafers has stabilized at around 25-27%, and is mainly used in the field of low-end and mid-range products, such as power management ICs, LCD/LED driver ICs, MCUs, power semiconductor MOSFETs, and automotive semiconductors.
These products, although the wafer size requirements are relatively low, but still have a wide range of applications in automotive electronics, consumer electronics and other fields.
The market share of 6-inch wafers is about 6-7%, mainly used in power semiconductors and automotive electronics and other fields. Although the market share is small, but its application value in specific areas can not be ignored.
