Market Overview:
The global photomask inspection system market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices and the rising number of mask shops across the globe. In terms of type, the die-to-die (DD) method is expected to hold a larger share of the market during the forecast period, owing to its ability to detect defects on both front and back sides of a photomask simultaneously. By application, semiconductor device manufacturers are expected to account for a larger share of the global photomask inspection system market duringthe forecast period.
Product Definition:
A photomask inspection system is a machine used to detect and correct defects on a photomask. These systems are important because they help ensure that the masks used in semiconductor manufacturing are free of defects, which can adversely affect the quality of the resulting chips.
Die to Die (DD) Method:
The die to die method is a new approach for inspection of photomasks. It reduces the time required for inspection and also helps in increasing yield by reducing defects in wafers. The technology uses light energy from one or more lasers to probe the structure of semiconductor chips on which the photomask is mounted.
Die to Die (DD) Method, it's usage.
Die to Database (DB) Method:
Die to database (DB) method is used for mask and reticle inspection. It provides a high level of accuracy in inspecting the wafer during the manufacturing process. The DB method inspects masks and reticles by comparing them with a database that contains information about dimensions, features, defects etc. of wafers as well as their locations on the wafer surface.
Application Insights:
The semiconductor device manufacturers application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for photomasks from various manufacturing processes such as EUV, LPE, LDW and others. In addition, technological advancements in mask shops are also driving the demand for inspection systems. For instance, mask shop ASE Electronics North America introduced a new state-of-the-art system that enables it to produce 10 times more masks per day than its previous machines enabling it to meet high production demands from various customers worldwide including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., STMicroelectronics Nv and Renesas Electronics Corporation among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region held the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing masking activities in Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. The growing demand for semiconductors across these countries has led to an increase in masking services which would subsequently drive the regional growth over the next eight years.
The North America region is anticipated to witness significant growth owing to several technological advancements made by various companies pertaining photomask inspection systems. For instance; In January 2016, ASM International Inc., a U.S.-based company announced about developing a new generation of dielectric-substrate masks for use on advanced manufacturing processes such as 3D printed electronics and Additive Manufacturing (AM). Such technological advancements are expected fuel industry growth over the coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronics industry
- Rising demand for advanced photomasks in semiconductor industry
- Growing number of fabless companies and IDMs
- Proliferation of 3D printing and MEMS technology
- Emergence of new applications such as displays, solar cells, and LEDs
