Terahertz Technology Market - Analyst Perspective:

With the growing technological advancement across various industries, the demand for the implementation of terahertz technology across military & defense, as well as the medical & healthcare sector, is also boosting. The focus of the manufacturers on the development of THz sources, transmission, or reflection, as well as detector technologies, is growing due to the increasing exploration of the “THz gap,” which lies between photonics and electronics. This technology is constantly being utilized in various applications such as chemistry, biomedicine, materials science, security screening, and communication. The exclusive properties of THz radiation are well-suited for medical and healthcare applications, particularly that can stimulate low-frequency molecular vibrations, which include van der Waals or other non-bonded interactions and hydrogen bonds.

Terahertz Technology Market Overview:

The terahertz ranges in the electromagnetic spectrum ranges between the microwaves and infrared spectrum, which comprises a frequency of one million oscillations per second. Due to terahertz technology's exceptional properties, terahertz radiation can be adopted in the coming years as it is a crucial technology. This technology is usually used to detect hidden explosives and drugs, as well as can recognize which substances are flowing from the plastic pipe. The terahertz technology is proficient enough to monitor the layer thickness by visualizing material flaws in ceramics or plastic in a nondestructive manner. Owing to its low energy characteristics, the terahertz radiation is nonhazardous for animals as well as humans. The terahertz technology is usually integrated with scanners based on active and passive methods. In a passive method, the scanning is constrained to the natural terahertz radiation, which is emitted through the human body. Similarly, the active method integrates an additional artificial radiation source through terahertz radiation. Thus, the system uses the discrepancy in the wavelength from the backscatter to recreate an image.

Terahertz Technology Market Driver:

Growing use of terahertz system in semiconductor industry

The semiconductor is one of the prominent industries in all types of industries. With the growing industrial sector, self-driving vehicles, and consumer electronics, the production of semiconductors is also booming at an exponential rate. With increasing semiconductor production, the adoption of advanced technologies such as terahertz also holds a significant position. Semiconductor packaging inspection; non-destructive fault isolation of packaging systems, fault isolation & defect detection for the microelectronics; wireless communication; semiconductor chips used in communications and mobile computing; transmitters & receivers; and wiring quality of semiconductor packages including wafer-level packages, Flip Chip BGA, and 2.5D/3D ICs are some of the application areas where terahertz is utilized. Also, the application of the terahertz system in semiconductor manufacturing is becoming appealing to composite materials, solar cells, dielectric film, and polymer films. The semiconductor industry using terahertz provides a large potential market for growth; this technology and system is ideal to evaluate epitaxial wafers and interconnects in the packaged chips.

The terahertz waves can be used to non-destructively inspect semiconductor wafers for defects, such as cracks, voids, and impurities. This can help to improve the yield of semiconductor manufacturing processes. In October 2022, das-Nano joined AESEMI to optimize the Spanish semiconductor sector. das-Nano has developed the first terahertz-based system named Onyx. It is designed to provide non-destructive, contactless, full-area inspection of 2D materials, thin films, surfaces, and multilayer coatings, from sub-millimeter to m2 level, providing information on a range of electrical parameters in a single measurement and improving the industrialization of research materials, such as graphene and other 2D materials. Such types of applications are driving the adoption of terahertz technology in the semiconductor industry.
