Global semiconductor inspection system market for foundries
The global semiconductor inspection system market for foundries was the largest market segment accounting for over 62% of total market share in 2015 and will grow at a CAGR of around 12% by 2020. The market demand for consumer electronic devices like mobile devices, STBs, digital cameras, and laptops will propel the growth of this market segment during the forecast period. The demand for these electrical devices is the highest among APAC countries such as India, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Nepal, and the foundries in this region will drive the market growth for semiconductor inspection systems.
“The semiconductor devices used in the manufacturing of electrical devices are logic, memory, analog, discrete, opto, and sensors units. The primary end-user of these semiconductors are electric device OEMs and electronic manufacturing companies. The foundries are upgrading their manufacturing and inspection equipment to ensure maximum productivity, reliable and quality offering to meet the increasing demand for these devices,” says Navin Rajendra, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on semiconductor equipment.
Global semiconductor inspection system market for memory manufacturers
The global semiconductor inspection system market for memory manufacturers segment accounted for almost 24% of total market share in 2015 and will grow at a CAGR of over 12% by 2020. The rising requirement for microcontroller-processed items in an electronic device is the primary driver for this market segment. Major vendors like Toshiba, Samsung, SanDisk, and SK-Hynix are investing in the development and commercialization of 3D NAND devices. The production of 3D NAND needs new and optimized equipment which results in vendors focusing on re-designing and their production lines, creating the demand for new inspection systems in the market. For instance, Micron and Intel started manufacturing 3D NAND based on 3D XPoint technology, and Toshiba announced the development of 3D NAND flash memory using through-silicon via (TSV) technology.
Global semiconductor inspection system market for IDMs
The global semiconductor inspection system market for IDMs segment accounted for around 14% of total market share in 2015 and will grow at a CAGR of about 7% by 2020. The vendors are focusing on the development of IDMs and reducing the production expenditure which in turn will lead to an increased usage of semiconductor devices. The manufacturers are also concentrating on enhancing the design and technology of chips will fuel the growth of this market segment.
The top leading vendors operating in the global semiconductor inspection system market are:
- KLA-Tencor
- Applied Materials
- Hermes Microvision
- Lasertech
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.
