POST ETCH RESIDUE CLEANING SOLUTIONS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Aqueous Type and Semi-aqueous Type amongst which the leading segment is the Manual Focus Aqueous Type.

• Aqueous Type: It nothing but a solution that can be mixed with water during the time of usage. It creates better surface tension and helps with the cleaning.

• Semi-aqueous Type : It is used for cleaining first and then the water is used to rinse the surface. It is not used with water instead the cleaning is simultaneously with solvent and water respectively.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Metal Impurities, Particles and Organic Residues  amongst which the leading segment is the Metal Impurities.

• Metal Impurities: Impurities are settled on the metals due to corrosion and rusting that take place because of weather conditions and rough usage of the metals.

• Particles: The stuck particles of corroded metals or dust and many such impurities are the reasons metals lose their lusture and hence need to maintained and cleaned from time to time.

• Organic Residues: Lipids, proteins and starches are few of the organic residues that are found on the metal when faced extreme conditions.

DRIVING FACTORS

Technological Advancements to Boost the Market
