2025-01-15

Vertical furnaces stand as cornerstone equipment in integrated circuit manufacturing, essential for front-end thermal processes such as oxidation, diffusion, and annealing. These processes directly influence the performance of semiconductor devices. By enabling batch processing of wafers, vertical furnaces significantly boost production efficiency, thereby assuming a pivotal role in the integrated circuit production landscape. According to SEMI data, the global market for vertical furnaces is projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2024, with sustained growth anticipated in the forthcoming years.
