"Lithography to register the largest market share in semiconductor manufacturing front-end equipment segment during the forecast period."
Advances in EUV technology and increasing investment in high-precision equipment for handling the challenges will be key drivers of the lithography segment in the front-end equipment market of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, accounting for a significant share. Lithography is one of the principal semiconductor fabrication processes of patterning intricate circuit patterns at microscopic resolution on silicon wafers. This step places the IC layout onto the surface of the wafer with light or electron beams imitating extremely minute features. Advances in the technology, most specifically in EUV lithography, provide a pathway to fabricate chips that are smaller and more powerful. Companies such as ASML (Netherlands) use EUV lithography, a process employing shorter wavelengths of light to fabricate features down to 5nm.
"Bonding to account for the highest CAGR in back-end equipment segment during the forecast period."
The bonding segment of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market is expected to grow the most due to the increasing requirement for the precise semiconductor devices and for the processes of high yield and efficiency of production. Bonding equipment is needed in the formation of electrical interconnections between semiconductor dies and their packages or substrates so that semiconductor devices can function. Some generally used techniques include wire bonding, ball bonding, and solder bump bonding. The right bonding technology will make all the difference in either performance or cost-effectiveness in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Growth in the development of advanced semiconductor packaging technology and demand for cost-effective, high-reliability automotive and consumer-electronics components are driving demand for bonding equipment.
