Semiconductor Grade Xenon Market

Semiconductor Grade Xenon Market Defination   

The semiconductor grade xenon market emerges from the use of the inert gas in the production process for semiconductors. Xenon is used for etching, annealing, and lithography as a surface disruption agent and to modulate plasma. The low cost and availability of xenon, while also allowing for the selective ion influence in plasma, is driving growth in the market. 

The production of xenon constitutes several safety hazards and is therefore heavily regulated, leading to high production costs. This leads to restricted growth in the market. Despite this, the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence is expected to propel the semiconductor market and, in turn, the semiconductor grade xenon market.
