A semiconductor plating system is a technology used in semiconductor manufacturing to deposit thin layers of metal or other materials onto semiconductor wafers. These systems are essential for creating electrical connections, improving the performance and reliability of semiconductor devices, and ensuring the proper functioning of integrated circuits and electronic components.
The primary types of semiconductor plating systems include fully automatic, semi-automatic, and manual. Fully automatic systems are designed for high-volume production with minimal human intervention, ensuring both efficiency and consistency. Wafer sizes are categorized into up to 100 mm, 100 mm to 200 mm, and above 200 mm. The technologies employed in these systems include electroplating and electroless plating. Applications of semiconductor plating systems include through silicon via (TSV), copper pillar, redistribution layer (RDL), under bump metallization (UBM), bumping, and others.

The semiconductor plating system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.83 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of 3d packaging, rise of ai-driven semiconductor manufacturing, demand for high-performance computing chips, growth in automotive electronics, need for environmentally friendly plating processes. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced plating automation, high-precision layer deposition, miniaturization of semiconductor components, integration with semiconductor manufacturing equipment, enhanced reliability & performance.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the semiconductor plating system market. Electric vehicles are automobiles powered fully or partially by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries rather than internal combustion engines. Their increasing adoption is influenced by rising environmental awareness, government incentives, advancements in battery technology, and growing consumer demand for sustainable transportation options. Semiconductor plating systems support electric vehicles by enhancing power management, battery control, and electronic systems through the application of precise metal coatings to semiconductor components, improving conductivity, reliability, and overall performance. For example, in January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric vehicles accounted for 16.3% of total U.S. light-duty vehicle sales in 2023, up from 12.9% in 2022. Therefore, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is contributing to the growth of the semiconductor plating system market.
