The global high k and ALD/CVD metal precursors market was valued at USD 501 million in 2020 to USD 754.58 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2021 to 2027. The global high k and ALD/CVD metal precursors market is poised for strong growth over the forecast period owing to process complexity. The vapor precursor segment is expected to outgrow all other segments in the semiconductor materials industry. Precursors that cross multiple applications, such as Germanium (Ge), Tantalum (Ta), etc., are expected to be needed in multiple generations. The downscaling trend of metal-organic semiconductors is expected to decrease power consumption and cost per function in a chip.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is primarily used to deposit diverse thin films of amorphous metal or crystalline, oxides, carbides, nitrides, intermetallic compounds, and inorganic polymer. In the semiconductor industry, the CVD process is primarily used to create varied layers such as electrode (capacitor or gate), intermetal dielectric (IMD), an interlayer dielectric (ILD). Precursors for CVD of metal oxides generally fall into three classifications: inorganic, metal-organics, and organometallic compounds. Metal-organic species are primarily used as the precursors for forming thin films of metal oxides, metal nitrides, and other types of metallic compounds. Common metal-organic precursors such as group IV and group V elements hafnium, tantalum, niobium, zirconium, etc., are considered for precursor development activities. Several mixed oxide phases, such as hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide, are used as high-permittivity gate materials in microelectronic devices.

CVD/ALD processes allow the growth of thin films of high conformity and uniformity with a precise thickness control. Various CVD applications include corrosion-resistant protective coatings, manufacturing temperature, and formation of ceramic composites, dense optical fibers, and new powdered materials. Typical CVD precursors include metal halides and hydrides. However, various metal-organic compounds are used presently, including metal alkoxides, carbonyls, amidinates, diketones, and metal alkyls. High k precursors are mainly used for gate and capacitors, and metal precursors are used for electrode and interconnect layers. ALD is studied as a potential technique to deposit high-k memory capacitor dielectrics, high-k gate oxides, metals, ferroelectrics, and nitrides for electrodes and interconnects.
Global High K and ALD/CVD Metal Precursors Market Dynamics
Drivers: Surging demand across nanotechnology applications
The high-k metal precursors market is expected to be driven by nanotechnology, which has the potential for a wide range of applications in next-generation products, including display technology, lighting, and biological imaging. On account of military and industrial applications, governments have put in billions of dollars for nanotechnology research. The U.S. has invested USD 3.7 billion, Japan invested USD 750 million, and European Union USD 1.2 billion in the National Nanotechnology Initiative. The hybrid organic-inorganic films’ optical, mechanical, dielectric, chemical, and conductive properties are projected to influence the high k metal precursors market.
The Royal Society report calls for stringent regulation of nanotechnology for nanotechnology’s human health and safety risks. Davies (2008) has proposed a regulatory road map describing steps for incorporating high-k dielectrics in nanotechnology applications. Nanoscale materials such as nanopillars are used in solar cells and nanofibers, which are utilized in aircraft wings. Improvements in innovative materials and methodologies for nanotechnology devices are expected to progressively aid in developing high-k metal precursors using embedded nano metal-organic concepts.
Restraints: High risk of impurity levels
The challenge in the high-k metal precursors market over the next few years would be the determination of hybrid organic-inorganic films which may be grown with ease. The major limitation of high-k instruments is their slow, thin-film formation rate. Thick atomic layers are not needed as ALD is used to generate substrates used in nanotechnology and microelectronics. Some of the substrates may not be used owing to the impurity or fragility. The self-limiting surface reactions coupled with saturated processes in high-k ALD reactions are estimated to limit the growth of high-k metal precursors.
SAFC Hitech has invested nearly USD 57 billion for research and development in the high-k metal precursors market. Ultrapure metal organics are essential for many microelectronic and optoelectronic applications with 99.9999% or more purity. These ultrapure metal-organic sources need special manufacturing routes to keep impurity levels below parts per billion (ppb). All the high-k metal precursors system materials, such as dopants, MO precursors, ammonia, and hydrogen carrier gas, should be supplied with high purity. SSL product developers can implement high-k precursors by integrating or buying modular drivers or working with discrete components to realize custom drivers. This allows the deposition of thin-film materials at low temperatures. The selection and design of appropriate metal-organic precursors are crucial for successfully developing new ALD processes.
