According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global SOH (Spin on Hardmasks) market size was valued at US$ 1052 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2072 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 10.3% during review period.
SOH (Spin on Hardmasks) is a membrane applied to the bottom of photoresists, and acts as a barrier in the follow-up etching process. SOH helps the circuit to transfer to the desired membrane, thus increasing the accuracy of micropatterns. Hardmask materials are used in semiconductor fabrication to prevent patterns from collapsing. A photoresist that is too thick can cause a pattern to break down, but one that is too thin is unable to sufficiently protect the substrate. Thus, a hardmask is needed to transfer photomask patterns. Hardmask layers are formed when SOH is placed on top of a silicon wafer through spin coating equipment. Photoresist (PR) is then applied on top of these layers. After exposure process, these layers then go through etching process. Final patterns are then formed after going through ashing process that removes any residues from layers.
The use of multilayer hardmasks is now essential for the semiconductor industry to produce devices at ever shrinking dimensions, particularly given recent developments in device architecture, such as FinFET and Intel trigate devices. Novel SOC materials enable increased aspect ratio 3D device architectures. Indeed, high resolution, high aspect ratio SOC hardmasks will not only benefit semiconductors, they hold the potential to boost nanofabrication capabilities across many markets and applications. Growth in Consumer Electronics and IoT Devices: The expansion of consumer electronics and Internet of Things (IoT) devices requires advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. SOH hardmasks contribute to the production of high-performance and miniaturized electronic components for these applications.
