A silicon wafer reclaim is defined as a type of silicon wafer which is obtained through processing, stripping, polishing, and cleaning, for further use. The performance of silicon wafer reclaim is almost the same as that of virgin wafer. However, the lifespan of these wafers might not be the same as that of new ones. 

Based on product, the silicon wafer reclaim market can be segmented into:

• 150 mm

• 200 mm

• 300 mm

• Others

By application, the market has been divided into:

• Integrated Circuits

• Solar Cells

• Others

The regional markets for the product include North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Rising Applications of Silicon Wafer Reclaim in Integrated Circuits to Boost the Growth of the Market

The increasing applications of silicon wafer reclaim in the manufacture of integrated circuits is driving the silicon wafer reclaim market growth. The heightened demand for integrated chips to produce smart electronic devices such as computers and smartphones, is further propelling the demand for silicon wafer reclaim.
