The global semiconductor inspection system market research predicts the market to grow at a CAGR close to 12% between 2016 and 2020. The growing global semiconductor market is propelling semiconductor device manufacturers to improve their production capacity, which requires constant upgrades in offerings. To make the offering reliable and efficient, semiconductor device manufacturers need to ensure the quality of the base products and accurate processing during semiconductor manufacturing. The inspection of intermediate products and the analysis of bare substrates is crucial and has necessitated the requirement for semiconductor inspection systems. These systems are used to find defects in masks and wafers during the production process of semiconductor wafers. Factors such as the increasing demand for low-cost, high-performing semiconductor devices and growing complexity of design and manufacturing process of these devices will augment the usage of inspection systems in the semiconductor manufacturing process in the coming years.
APAC is the largest semiconductor inspection system market revenue-contributing region and is anticipated to occupy more than 72% of the total market share by 2020. The rise in the domestic production of ICs in the region will lead to a greater requirement for inspection systems owing to the high demand for high-performing and defect-free chips. The growing significance to determine the performance of consumer electronic devices or the reliability of chips will boost the demand for inspection systems in APAC during the forecast period.
The semiconductor inspection system market has a considerable growth potential and is primarily dominated by the key players. The expansion in production capacities of semiconductor foundries will influence the growth of the fab equipment needed for the semiconductor manufacturing process, augmenting the demand for inspection systems. The introduction of new technologies such as the IoT and wearables is expected to intensify the competition among market vendors during the forecast period. The strong foothold of the key players will restrict the entry of new players in the market.
According to the semiconductor inspection system market analysis, the leading vendors in the market are -
Other prominent vendors in the semiconductor inspection system market include ASML Holding, Carl Zeiss, FEI, Hitachi High-Technologies, JEOL, Nanometrics, Nikon, Planar Corporation, Lam Research, Rudolph Technologies, Tokyo Seimitsu, and Toray Engineering
