Global Semiconductor Inspection and Metrology Equipment Market 2023 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2029


According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Semiconductor Inspection and Metrology Equipment market size was valued at USD million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2029 with a CAGR of % during review period.

Semiconductor Inspection and Metrology Equipment is one of the core equipment in the integrated circuit production process and is the key to ensuring the yield rate of chip production. There are many steps in the integrated circuit manufacturing process and the process is extremely complex. There are hundreds of processes in the integrated circuit front-end manufacturing process alone. With the improvement of integrated circuit process nodes, the steps of the manufacturing process will continue to increase, and the number of fatal defects generated in the process will also increase. Therefore, the yield rate of each process must be maintained at an extremely high level of almost "zero defects" Only in this way can the yield rate of the final chip be guaranteed. Semiconductor Inspection and Metrology Equipment is mainly used in wafer manufacturing and advanced packaging. It mainly uses non-contact methods such as optical and electron beams for photolithography, etching, thin film deposition, cleaning, CMP, rewiring structures, bumps and Through silicon vias and other links are tested.

Inspection refers to detecting whether there are heterogeneous conditions on the wafer surface or in the circuit structure, such as particle contamination, surface scratches, open and short circuits and other characteristic structural defects that have a negative impact on the chip process performance;

Metrology refers to the quantitative description of the structural dimensions and material properties of the observed wafer circuit, such as the measurement of physical parameters such as film thickness, critical dimensions, etching depth, and surface morphology.

According to the SEMI, global sales of semiconductor equipment was US$ 109 billion in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%. Mainland China is the largest semiconductor equipment market in the world. For the third consecutive year, China remained the largest semiconductor equipment market in 2022 despite a 5% slowdown in the pace of investments in the region year over year, accounting for $28.3 billion in billings. China Taiwan, the second-largest destination for equipment spending, recorded an increase of 8% to $26.8 billion, marking the fourth straight year of growth for the region. Equipment sales to Korea contracted 14% to $21.5 billion. Annual semiconductor equipment investments in Europe surged 93%, while North America logged a 38% increase. Sales to the Rest of World and Japan increased 34% and 7% year over year, respectively.
