Global Laser Mask Writer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029
Photomasksused during photolithography to project circuit patterns onto silicon wafers layer-by-layer-are essential to the production of semiconductors. Today, more mask layers than ever are required across the entire spectrum of semiconductor technologies. That is particularly true at the most advanced nodes, which may require an unprecedented 80-100 different masks to pattern a device; but it is also true for technologies that are far from the leading edge. A case in point: 200mm production is booming at fabs around the world for automotive, wireless, IoT and other fast-growing IC applications, and is driving significant mask demand.
Laser Mask Writer is used for photomask manufacturing, it is a maskless lithography systems using laser source. Compared with Mask writers based on electron-beam (e-beam) technology, mask makers prefer to use faster laser-based systems wherever possible, including for all but the most critical masks for advanced devices. Laser writers are also widely used to overlay second level patterns on already-patterned masks, a requirement to produce phase-shifting masks (PSMs) that enhance the process window for wafer lithography.
Market Overview:
The latest research study on the global Laser Mask Writer market finds that the global Laser Mask Writer market reached a value of USD 307.34 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 492.52 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.18% during the forecast period.
Mask manufacturer's Laser Mask Writer equipment has a large replacement space
Over the years, many commercial mask suppliers have been using a range of legacy manufacturing systems. In some cases, these aged devices become beyond repair and the device needs to be replaced. At the same time, the technological development of the downstream market will also eliminate some of the equipment that can no longer be used. Therefore, there is a large space for replacing old equipment in the Laser Mask Writer market.
Electronification Trend Drives Demand for Laser Mask Writer
With the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence technology and traditional industries, the world economy is undergoing a comprehensive transformation from an industrial economy to a digital economy. Technological innovation based on digital technology is reshaping the global economic structure, transforming traditional industries, and forming a new economic competition pattern. At the same time, these digital transformations are also driving the digitization of everything from consumer goods, IoT devices, and automobiles to medical equipment. Mask is used in the mass production of downstream electronic components and is a key part of the production process connection in downstream industries. The trend of electronification in various industries around the world has increased the market demand for Mask, thereby driving the growth of market demand for Laser Mask Writer equipment.
