Market Overview
Electronic grade hydrofluoric acid (e-HF) is a highly purified chemical used widely in etching and cleaning processes during the fabrication of semiconductors, microchips, photovoltaic cells, and flat-panel displays. Renowned for its ability to create microscopic patterns and remove oxide layers with exceptional precision, e-HF remains indispensable to next-generation microfabrication technologies.
As semiconductor nodes shrink and designs grow more intricate, the utility of e-HF in producing micro-scale architecture continues to increase. Additionally, the booming photovoltaic sector, particularly in Asia Pacific, continues to generate strong demand for high-purity HF for wafer texturing and surface preparation.
Analysts' Viewpoint
Analysts at TMR observe that rising installations of solar photovoltaic systems and the continued expansion of memory chip, processor, and display panel manufacturing facilities will remain the primary drivers of market acceleration.
China alone installs more solar modules annually than the rest of the world combined, reinforcing Asia Pacific's dominant market position. Simultaneously, growth in OLED and advanced TFT-LCD demand is further boosting the need for precision etching agents such as electronic grade HF.
Manufacturers are increasingly adopting advanced purification and recovery technologies to meet escalating purity requirements-particularly ultrahigh-purity grades such as UPSS-which continue to gain traction in advanced semiconductor applications.
Key Market Drivers
Surge in Global Photovoltaic (PV) Capacity
The explosive expansion of solar energy infrastructure is one of the primary catalysts of market growth.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global installed photovoltaic capacity surpassed 1.18 Terawatts (TW) in 2022. Solar energy also accounted for nearly 75% of global renewable capacity additions in 2023.
In the United States, solar capacity operated by the power sector is projected to increase from 95 GW (2023) to 131 GW by 2024, marking a 38% rise.
Silicon wafer cleaning, one of the most critical steps in PV cell production, relies heavily on high-purity HF to remove contaminants and metal oxides.
HF-based texturing, including velvet etching, is essential for creating micro-roughened surfaces that enhance light trapping and improve solar cell efficiencies.
As nations accelerate renewable energy transitions, the demand for e-HF for wafer cleaning, etching, and texturing is expected to grow robustly.
Flourishing Global Display Industry
The display panel industry-spanning LCD, OLED, micro-OLED, and TFT displays-relies extensively on e-HF for etching glass substrates, cleaning components, and removing impurities during fabrication.
Key display advancements driving HF consumption include:
Rising production of high-resolution displays for TVs, monitors, automotive dashboards, smartphones, and wearables
Industry shift toward thinner, lighter, and more flexible displays
Increased demand for energy-efficient panels
Precision etching requirements for transparency, brightness, and durability
Electronic grade HF ensures ultra-clean substrate surfaces, enabling display manufacturers to improve brightness, reduce energy consumption, and enhance display lifespans.
While alternative etching technologies-such as plasma and laser-are being developed, HF remains the most cost-efficient and effective solution in large-scale display manufacturing.
Growing Demand for Advanced Semiconductors and Microchips
With the semiconductor industry transitioning toward sub-5-nanometer nodes, precise etching solutions have become indispensable. Electronic grade HF plays a crucial role in:
Creating capacitor and transistor structures
Preparing silicon for epitaxial growth
Achieving uniform oxide removal
Enabling patterning in 3D NAND and advanced DRAM architectures
Modern memory technologies like 3D NAND rely heavily on HF for producing stacked architectures. The fragile micro-structures in these devices require ultra-controlled etching, achievable only with top-tier electronic grade HF.
