The global Mask Inspection Equipments market was valued at 41.84 Million USD in 2020 and will grow with a CAGR of 8.67% from 2020 to 2027, based on HNY Research newly published report.
The prime objective of this
report “Global
and Regional Mask Inspection Equipments Industry Status and Prospects
Professional Market Research Report Standard Version 2021-2027” is to
provide the insights on the post COVID-19 impact which will help market players
in this field evaluate their business approaches. Also, this report covers
market segmentation by major market verdors, types, applications/end users and
geography (North America, East Asia, Europe, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Middle
East, Africa, Oceania, South America).
A mask is an original master
for transferring IC patterns to the semiconductor wafers. Defects during
lithography that exceed expected size must be identified and corrected. Mask
inspection equipment looks for pattern defects and foreign matter on the
surface of the mask. This equipment is used in semiconductor plants to inspect
masks received from suppliers, such as mask shops, and to conduct regular
inspections of masks during the device production process. Mask inspection
equipment is also used by mask shops to inspect masks before shipment to device
makers. A major reason why mask inspection equipment is required is that masks
often develop a solid growing foreign matter (haze) on their top surface and
back side. Masks therefore must be inspected for such impurities before
continuing with the semiconductor manufacturing process. The adoption of ArF
lithography has increased the level of irradiation light energy.
During exposure, gaseous
impurities, such as organic substances and ammonia, are present in trace
amounts on the mask. Irradiation by a short wavelength laser decomposes these
gaseous substances and induces bonding, which often leads to the emergence of a
solid growing foreign matter (haze) on the top surface and back side of the
mask. Although this haze is microscopic, usually only several tens of
nanometers, if it grows it will be transferred to the wafer during the
lithography process, resulting in a defective semiconductor device. Defects
that are detected after patterns are written on masks include protrusions from
the pattern, cracks in the pattern, dirt or dust on the transparent portion,
and transparent pinholes in the portion of the pattern that is shielded from
light.

The report focuses on the
Mask Inspection Equipment market, but does not include revenue generated from
the sale of components that are used in the production or resale of mask
inspection equipment. The semiconductor market is shifting toward complex and
miniaturized devices. Semiconductor device manufacturers need higher inspection
sensitivity as they move toward lower node sizes (10nm and beyond). The
migration will introduce complex structures and designs, as well as new
materials. Intense market competition, rapid technological advances, and
cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry pose significant challenges to
market vendors. The market has significant entry barriers such as high capital
investments which challenge the entry of new players in the market. The
competition among the vendors is expected to intensify due to the emergence of
new technology milestones like IoT and wearable technology.
In terms of geography, the
APAC region led the global mask inspection equipment and the four countries
including China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, are expected to reach close to USD
386.95 million by 2018, due to the existence of manufacturing industries in
Asian countries. China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea have a very rich
environment for manufacturing companies. The economic growth in China and India
is also driving the strong demand for electronic products in the semiconductor
inspection system market.
