14%

The wafer product segment dominates the overall market and is anticipated to continue its dominant position over the forecast period at a CAGR of 14.7%. The higher growth rate of this segment can be attributed to the growing movement for the use of solar panels for renewable energy, and it is used in the production of solar cells and integrated circuits.

Given the large-scale production facilities set up by large-scale enterprises, it necessitates a broad range of tools to function quickly and efficiently over the assembly lines. So, as per all the previous market reports, the large-scale enterprise end-user segment has always dominated the semiconductor inspection system market so far.

However, in recent years, the end-user vertical of small and medium-sized businesses have also progressed significantly due to the growing demand for quality products around the world. Consequently, the global semiconductor inspection system market analysis report released by FMI finds that this segment is poised to grow at a quicker rate over the forecast years.

The top four firms that control the industry in terms of value and volume are based in the United States, like KLA-Tencor, Nano metrics, Rudolph Technologies, and Applied Materials, which are also responsible for the major advancement in this sector. For instance, KLA Corporation unveiled the new eDR7380 e-beam defect review system, along with 392x and 295x optical defect assessment systems, in July 2020. These new advancements made in this system have solidified its position as a crucial method for linking defects and cause and are intended to reduce the time taken for reviewing cutting-edge 3D NAND, DRAM, and logic ICs.

Semiconductor industry has witnessed drastic changes over the years and these changes led to make complex semiconductor manufacturing assembly lines. Semiconductor inspection system operates in the semiconductor production lines in order to improve the quality of manufactured semiconductor device.

The primary functions of semiconductor inspection system to provide application support provisioning, yield and process management provisioning, and inspection and evaluation system module provisioning.

There are various type of inspection required in the production line of semiconductor industry; in-line inspection, on-line defect analysis, and critical dimension-measurement in lithography. Moreover, wafer detection systems are also used to detect pattern defects and particles and analyzes possible causes for poor yield.

There is a tectonic shift in semiconductor industry due to the exponential growth in internet of things (IoT) market. Without the semiconductor sensor technology, the existence of IoT cannot be imagined. Hence, the role of semiconductor inspection systems became more crucial in order to produce sensors of extreme quality.

Semiconductor Inspection System Market: Drivers and Challenges

Now-a-days, miniaturization is playing a vital part in the manufacturing of the semiconductor devices. Miniaturization is immensely contributing in reduction of material cost, on the flip side of this, it is also increasing the complexity in the assembly lines.

This might take the productivity of a particular assembly line to south. It has led to the demand of semiconductor inspection system that integrates and controls high-performance inspection and evaluation tools.

In near future, Planarization process and multi-layer wiring will be more comely used in assembly lines of semiconductor industry. It can generate some serious inspection problems such as metal grain and color variations.

The existing inspection systems aren’t capable to inspect and detect such kind of problems. It is the biggest challenges for vendors to provide inspection systems that are capable in eliminating these false defects in order to detect true defects.

Regional Overview

The North America region holds the largest market share of global semiconductor inspection system market. The semiconductor device manufactures are speeding huge amount of money in countries such as US and Canada in order to expand their capacity and opening the new facilities.

The North America region is also home to many of the key vendors of semiconductor inspection system.

The Asia Pacific region is closely following the North America region and is expected to have the highest growth rate in coming future due to the growth of semiconductor industry in countries such as China, Taiwan, and Japan.  

In the Europe region, the semiconductor inspection system market is witnessing moderate growth rate.

Germany is contributing immensely in the Europe semiconductor inspection system market as it is the largest electronics manufacturing country of the Europe. Germany is also hub of automotive and industrial electronics. Moreover European semiconductor vendors are eying to acquire US companies.

For instance, in 2015 NXP Semiconductors acquired Freescale and became the largest player in the automotive semiconductor market. The strong merger and acquisition outlook in semiconductor industry will further drive the growth of semiconductor inspection system market in Europe.
