Report Description
The global RF plasma generator market size was valued at USD 910 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 5.05 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 21% during the forecast period, 2023–2031.
Growing demand for consumer electronics, semiconductor devices, and flat panel displays is driving the market. RF plasma generators, also known as inductively-heated plasma generators (IPGs), produce radio frequency (RF) power to generate and maintain plasma in plasma chambers and similar devices.
These generators can be used as a source or bias generators in numerous applications including integrated circuit (IC), film deposition, solar cells, flat panel displays, surface cleaning, LEDs, MEMs, surface modification, and data storage.
The radio frequency plasma generators offer benefits such as providing excellent reliability for increased up-time and lower cost ownership, auto-frequency tuning allows fixed matching networks for faster tuning, and automatic load mismatch protection guards against power amplifier over-dissipation.
RF Plasma Generator Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising demand for smart manufacturing, 4K display, smart lighting, and 3D memory devices is boosting the RF plasma generator market.
- Increasing use of innovative circuit design techniques to deliver plasma source for long-term reliability with improved performance is fueling the market.
