Overview of the global mask alignment systems market
Nanotechnology is gaining popularity because it has the ability to influence the core characteristics and properties of atoms. Manufacturers rely on nanotechnology solutions to manufacture several semiconductor components, such as quantum dots and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The demand for nanosensors is increasing because they are used to monitor the surrounding weather conditions and health of the building. These sensors provide data on the state of a building and bridges. They provide an early indication of the condition of the building structure by monitoring the concrete corrosion and cracks, internal stresses, and other physical forces. Nanosensors have ICs embedded into them with nanoscale precision. This in turn, will boost the demand for mask alignment systems because they play a crucial role in developing nanotechnology further. As a result, Technavio’s market research report identifies that the advancements in nanotechnology will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global mask alignment systems market till 2021. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 9% by 2021.
