SOC (Spin on Carbon) Hardmasks Market Analysis:

The global SOC (Spin on Carbon) Hardmasks Market valued at 117 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 219 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period.

SOC (Spin on Carbon) Hardmasks Market Overview

Spin-on Carbon (SOC) hardmasks can be used in multilayer lithography processes with high etch resistance, low cost of ownership, low defects, high alignment accuracy, good gap filling and topography planarization. SOC is a high carbon-containing polymer solution. As a coating material, the polymer needs to be dissolved in an organic solvent and insoluble in the upper layer of the coating after curing. The high carbon content (>80%) of the SOC is important for good etch resistance.
