Market Overview:
The global wafer probers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for semiconductor devices and microelectronics products, rising demand for medical and bio-medical assemblies, and growing adoption of photovoltaic devices. In addition, the increasing demand for RF electronics is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as high initial investment costs and stringent government regulations are restraining the growth of this market. The global wafer probers market can be segmented on the basis of type into fully automatic probers and semi-automatic probers. On the basis of application, it can be divided into microelectronics & semiconductor production, medical & bio-medical assemblies, photovoltaic device assembly, RF electronics assembly, and others (including MEMS/NEMS fabrication).
Product Definition:
A wafer prober is a device used to electrically test integrated circuits (ICs) that have been diced from a silicon wafer. The ICs are mounted on a probe card and then the probe card is inserted into the prober. The prober applies voltage and current to the ICs and measures their response. This allows us to determine whether or not the ICs are functional.
Fully Automatic Probers:
Fully automatic probers are used for testing the wafers in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. They are also known as probe cards or test cards. These fully automatic probers have gained popularity over traditional manual testing equipment owing to several benefits such as high speed, enhanced accuracy and efficiency along with reduced labor cost and floor space requirements.
Semi-automatic Probers:
Semi-automatic probers are used in wafer probe systems to test the surface of semiconductor wafers for defects. These probers have a faster cycle time and can test more wafers in less time than manual probes.
The major advantage of using semi-automatic probes is that it reduces the number of errors as compared to manual probes, which makes it an effective tool for manufacturing semiconductors with high yield.
Application Insights:
The microelectronics and semiconductor production segment dominated the global wafer probers market in 2017. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for integrated circuits as a result of growing digitalization in various end-use industries such as consumer electronics, telecommunication and IT, automotive and transportation systems, healthcare etc. The RF electronic assembly segment is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in R&D activities on account of rising demand for high-frequency applications.
The photovoltaic device assembly segment is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due to an increase in solar energy generation capacity globally coupled with government support towards renewable energy generation projects. Increasing research & development activities are being carried out by major players operating within this industry owing to technological advancements coupled with innovations that have taken place over recent years which has boosted product demand globally.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of the region can be attributed to increasing investments in R&D and technological advancements. Moreover, presence of key players such as Maxim Integrated Products Inc.; Analog Devices, Inc.; Texas Instruments; and National Semiconductor Corporation is expected to drive regional growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to rapid development in end-use industries such as medical & bio-medical devices, consumer electronics, solar energy equipment and others across emerging economies including China and India. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with growing population will also boost demand for advanced wafer probing systems across this region during this period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for semiconductor devices in consumer electronics and telecommunications sectors
- Rising number of wafer probing requirements from small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs)
- Proliferation of 3D IC technology and the need for advanced wafer probing capabilities
- Growing popularity of advanced packaging technologies, such as 2.5D/3D TSV, FCBGA, and PoP
- Emergence of new market segments, such as automotive electronics and medical devices
