to these features, it finds substantial applications in R&D activities. Increasing demands for
advanced computing and processing has led to development of 3D finFETs, NAND and advanced
DRAMs, which requires the tools to assess complex structures. Wafer assessment on the scales
below 10 nm is extremely difficult, and in case of overlooking of the smallest error can impact
the end use. This is expected to be major industry growth challenge over the next coming years.
Asia Pacific to be key growth engine of the wafer inspection equipment market
Asia Pacific is the largest hub for the electronic semiconductor manufacturing activities, driven
by the extensive production demands specifically in the countries that include China, Taiwan,
Japan and South Korea. Moreover, the region is also attributed with the presence of key
electronic industry participants such as Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, among many
others, which will help the region sustain its dominance over the next few years.
U.S. is expected to contribute to major industry share in the industry growth primarily owing to
the major inclination of the users towards innovative technologies such as connected vehicles,
industrial automation and other process automation. Moreover, the region is also characterized
with the presence of major tech giants that include, Google, Tesla, Qualcomm, Texas
Instruments, and GlobalFoundries among many others, which will provide consistent demands
for the wafer inspection equipment market.
Key players in the wafer inspection equipment market include Applied Materials, Zeiss Global,
Hermes Microvision (ASML), FEI (Thermo Fisher Scientific), KLA-Tencor, Hitachi High-
Technologies, JEOL, Lasec Corporation, Lam Research, Nikon, Nanometrics, Planar Corporation,
Tokyo Seimitsu, Rudolph Technologies, and Toray Engineering.
