Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing demand for semiconductor wafers is notably driving the e-beam wafer inspection system market growth, although factors such as difficulty in finding defects in an embedded chip may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the e-beam wafer inspection system industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key E-Beam Wafer Inspection System Market Driver
Increasing demand for semiconductor wafers is a major driver fueling the e-beam wafer inspection system market growth. There has been an increase in the adoption of certain communication devices and consumer electronic equipment such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, LCDs, LEDs, and solid-state drives (SSD), owing to the demand for advanced and sophisticated electronic products from consumers worldwide. This has indirectly led to the high demand for superior quality semiconductors such as silicon-based wafers, which play a key role in ICs. Such ICs are an integral part of many electronic devices such as mobiles and computers. Similarly, new and emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M), ultra high definition (UHD) televisions, hybrid laptops, and vehicle automation are further driving the demand for semiconductor wafers. Therefore, as the demand for semiconductor wafers increases, the need for wafer inspection systems also increases in order to keep a check on the process and quality of the wafers. The increasing demand for semiconductor wafers will have a high impact on semiconductor foundries, as these foundries will invest in boosting their production capacity either by the expansion of the existing fabs or by developing new fabs.
Key E-Beam Wafer Inspection System Market Trend
Multi-beam e-beam inspection is a major trend influencing the e-beam wafer inspection system market growth. The e-beam wafer inspection system market is of two types, one being the traditional e-beam inspection and the other being the multi-beam e-beam inspection. To increase the throughputs of e-beam inspection systems, researchers are working to develop a multi-beam e-beam inspection system, which would make the throughputs faster than the traditional e-beam inspection system. These systems are expected to be launched during the forecast period and will take quite some time for mass production as these are still under development. For instance, in May 2020, ASML Holding NV (ASML) completed system integration and testing of its first-generation HMI multibeam inspection (MBI) system for 5 nm nodes and beyond. The HMI eScan 1000 demonstrated successful multibeam operation, simultaneously scanning nine beams on several test wafers. With nine beams, the eScan 1000 will increase throughput up to 600% compared to single e-beam inspection tools for targeted in-line defect inspection applications.
Key E-Beam Wafer Inspection System Market Challenge
The difficulty in finding defects in an embedded chip is a major hindrance to the e-beam wafer inspection system market growth. As the chips are embedded with a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), static random-access memory (SRAM), and dense logic, it becomes difficult to find the defects. The chips are filled with minute materials, and it becomes hard to list out the part in which the defect is present. There is also some confusion regarding nuisance in the wafer and the actual defect of interest (DOI). A nuisance is a small irregularity in the wafer, which is not classified as a defect or impurity. In advanced nodes, the nuisances and DOIs are bunched together on a map and hence cannot be distinguished, which is a major challenge for the R&D teams of inspection system vendors. Hence, these challenges to identify defects on embedded chips can negatively affect the demand for e-beam wafer inspection systems for embedded chip applications and thereby hinder the potential growth of the market during the forecast period.
This e-beam wafer inspection system market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
