Pellicle Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Lithography Technology (ArF, EUV, KrF); By Transmittance; By Permeability; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 – 2032

The global pellicle market size is expected to reach USD 1,559.56 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Pellicle Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Lithography Technology (ArF, EUV, KrF); By Transmittance; By Permeability; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The growing penetration for producing quality-driven chips and exponential growth of the semiconductor industry, particularly in emerging economies due to the emergence of 5G infrastructure and IoTs, are the primary factors influencing the global market.

Additionally, with the growing investments in research & development efforts that could lead to the creation of innovative pellicles with enhanced properties like reduced outgassing and increased durability coupled with the focus of companies on expanding their market presence and tapping into the unexplored and untapped market for semiconductors, the demand for pellicles also rises at extensive pace.

For instance, in August 2023, Mitsui Chemicals inaugurated “Mitsui Chemicals EMS Corporation,” which is mainly built on the pellicle business acquired from the Asahi Kasei. With this inauguration, the company has strengthened and solidified its standing in the pellicle market and emerged as a front-runner in the production of DUV pellicles.

Moreover, it introduces the state-of-the-art tool to evaluate and monitor pellicles that are used in the semiconductor industry, which mainly uses specialized illumination and high-resolution cameras to provide detailed information and pictures of pellicles, which help increase the manufacturing capabilities of semiconductor plants and boost the yield.

With the rapid surge in the adoption of EUV lithography in semiconductor manufacturing all over the world, there is an increasing demand for pellicles that could withstand the extreme conditions associated with EUV exposure, leading to the development of EUV-compatible pellicles with enhanced capabilities and features to meet emerging market needs. Also, companies are focusing on the implementation of several functionalities in EUV lithography, like anti-oxidation, anti-reflection, and mirror, among others, which will positively impact the technology used in the semiconductor industry.

For instance, in April 2023, Brewer Science announced its new developments in advancing EUV lithography and its plan to present it at the CMC Conference. The new EUV lithography underlayers will play a very critical role in the scalability of processes and demonstrate an improved process window.
