Optical Patterned Wafer Inspection Equipment Market - Positive Long-Term Growth Outlook 2016

During the process of manufacturing, optical patterned wafer inspection equipments are used for the detection of defects in patterned wafer. As a result of increasing application of semiconductor wafer in various industrial segments such as automotive and consumer electronics among others, the demand for optical patterned wafer inspection equipments is growing. The optical patterned wafer inspection equipments comprises of two technologies, namely; bright-field inspection and dark-field inspection.

The market for optical patterned wafer inspection equipments is expected to be driven as a result of technological advancements concerning the consumer electronics segment. The emergence of various technologies such as 3D T.Vs. Smart T.Vs and Ultra HD T.Vs is driving the growth of the optical patterned wafer inspection equipments market. The demand for these T.Vs are on the rise and a growing demand for them is bound to impact the demand for optical patterned wafer inspection equipments positively. These factors will result in an increased semiconductor capital equipment spending and ultimately the demand for optical patterned wafer inspection equipments will be influenced. Moreover, the surge of the semiconductor industry has resulted in various semiconductor manufacturers to increase their expenditure and production capacity on fab equipment. There has an increase in the complexities related to the semiconductor manufacturing as a result of new design processes and rules. This has led to the increase in the density of defects of semiconductor wafers which can result in severe damage of the wafers. Optical patterned wafer inspection equipments can help the semiconductor manufacturers to launch new products more effectively and quickly as they would help prevent defects in the product. Therefore, it has become a vital issue on the part of the wafer manufacturers to implement corrective measures in order to reduce the impurities that can hamper the performance of the devices and ultimately lead to the rejection of the entire wafer. The demand for a shorter semiconductor product development cycle is another important factor driving the growth of the optical patterned wafer inspection equipments market.
