According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Plasma Ashing System market size was valued at US$ 687 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1038 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.8% during review period.
A plasma ashing system is a dry-processing tool that utilizes process gases—such as oxygen, fluorine, argon, and hydrogen—to generate a low-pressure plasma within a radio-frequency (RF), microwave, or inductively coupled electric field. Through the action of reactive oxygen radicals, ions, ultraviolet radiation, and reactive gases, the system oxidizes, decomposes, or volatilizes and removes organic photoresists, polymer residues, and organic films—such as PI, BCB, PBO, and SU-8—from the surfaces of wafers, substrates, or devices. In semiconductor front-end and back-end processing, MEMS fabrication, compound semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, and display manufacturing workflows, these systems typically perform functions such as photoresist stripping, removal of post-etch residues, post-ion implantation stripping, underlayer removal, surface activation, and light cleaning.
Plasma ashing systems are important dry-process equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing, linking key process steps such as photolithography, etching, ion implantation, cleaning, and advanced packaging. Their core function is to generate low-pressure plasma using process gases such as oxygen, fluorine-based gases, argon, and hydrogen, thereby converting photoresist, organic residues, polymer films, and post-etch residues on wafers or substrates into volatile by-products that are subsequently exhausted from the chamber. Compared with wet stripping, plasma ashing offers stronger process controllability, broader selectivity adjustment, relatively controllable particle risk, and better compatibility with high-aspect-ratio structures and complex material systems. It has become a foundational process tool in wafer fabrication, MEMS, compound semiconductors, power devices, advanced packaging, and R&D or pilot production lines.
From a market perspective, demand for plasma ashing systems is driven not only by new wafer fab capacity, but also by increasing process complexity in advanced nodes, higher ion implantation doses, stricter low-damage stripping requirements, capacity expansion in power devices and compound semiconductors, and growing demand for organic film processing involving PI, PBO, BCB, and SU-8 in advanced packaging. In particular, in 8-inch power device lines, 12-inch mature-node fabs, MEMS, RF devices, CIS, advanced packaging, and third-generation semiconductor production lines, plasma ashing equipment is used not only for photoresist stripping, but also for descum, surface activation, residue removal, and low-damage cleaning. Its application boundary is therefore continuing to expand.
In terms of competitive landscape, the international market is led by companies such as Lam Research, PSK, ULVAC, Shibaura Mechatronics, PVA TePla, Trymax, Plasma-Therm, and Yield Engineering Systems (YES). In mainland China, companies including NAURA Technology Group, Mattson Technology / Beijing E-Town Semiconductor Technology, Wuxi AMTE Inc., Shanghai Jet Plasma Technology, Shanghai Bangxin Semiconductor Technology, Shenzhen NAEN Technology, and Dongguan Sindin Precision Instrument have established positions at different product and application levels. Looking ahead, as investment continues in China’s wafer fabs, power semiconductors, advanced packaging, and compound semiconductor production lines, the localization opportunity for plasma ashing systems is expected to further expand.
