Polished and epitaxial silicon shipments will come to 10.44 billion square inches in 2016, up 2% from about 10.27 billion square inches in 2015, according to SEMI.
Shipments for 2016 are expected to exceed the market high set in 2015, and continue shipping at record levels in 2017 and 2018, said SEMI.
Total silicon wafer shipments will climb further to 10.64 billion square inches in 2017, and reach about 10.9 billion square inches in 2018, SEMI indicated.
"Silicon shipment volumes have been gaining strength in recent months, after a soft start at the beginning of the year," said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. "This positive momentum is expected to continue and result in modest annual growth for the segment this year, 2017 and into 2018."
Silicon wafers are the fundamental building material for semiconductors, which in turn, are vital components of virtually all electronics goods, including computers, telecommunications products, and consumer electronics. The highly engineered thin round disks are produced in various diameters (from one inch to 12 inches) and serve as the substrate material on which most semiconductor devices or "chips" are fabricated.
