E-Beam Wafer Inspection System Market By Type (Less Than 1 Nm, 1 Nm To 10 Nm, More Than 10 Nm) - Growth, Future Prospects And Competitive Analysis 2017 – 2025

With the rapid and continuous advancement in the electronics and semiconductors industry, defects management has become more critical than ever before. The overall industry tends towards further miniaturization of electronic devices leading to more complex designs and manufacturing process. As a result, accurate semiconductor inspection becomes a serious concern for the manufacturers. However, with the decreasing size of electronic components and integrated circuits, popular inspection techniques such as optical inspection system prove to be incapable, especially in extremely small dimensions. Subsequently, e-beam wafer inspection method has been witnessing profound attention from the electronic and semiconductors industry since the past few years.

E-beam wafer inspection system is a semiconductor fabrication tool, based on electron beam scanning. These systems are typically used in research and development where accuracy remains the utmost priority. E-beam wafer inspection method is capable of working in the range of 2 nm making it highly suitable for inspecting semiconductor wafers. However, major disadvantage of this tool is slow throughput resulting in high manufacturing time. As a result, the technology is yet to become popular in production facilities, requiring faster throughput time. Nevertheless, due to increasing efforts towards maximizing the throughput time (e.g. by engaging multiple beams), the e-beam wafer inspection system market holds immense potential for future growth.
