Global Semiconductor Lithography Equipment Market: Insights

Globally, the use of semiconductor photolithography equipment is becoming more mainstream. During the past few years, the pervasive use of semiconductor lithography devices for the technological development of tablets, smartphones, and computers has increased significantly. The demand for semiconductor lithography is driven by the increased demand for smarter and better consumer electronics. Also, semiconductor lithography systems are used to manufacture ICs that are installed in various applications, such as electronic communication devices, consumer devices, sensor devices, and memory devices. The growth in the use of ICs has also had a positive effect on the development of the demand for semiconductor lithography equipment.

Besides, the requirement for large panel displays and portable electronic devices to be installed has led to stimulating the need for KrF and ArF lithography systems, which is anticipated to propel the market demand for semiconductor lithography equipment during the forecast period. Despite the different advantages provided by semiconductor photolithography equipment, there are, however, certain limiting factors that hinder market development. Uncertain economic conditions in diverse regions are the biggest impeding factor behind the development of this market.

Global Semiconductor Lithography Equipment Market: By Technology

Based on the technology, the market is categorized as KrF, i-line, ArF Dry, EUV, and ArF Immersion. Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) is foreseen to dominate the market. Over the years, semiconductor lithography machines have made numerous advancements, introducing a large lens with a high numeral aperture (NA) or using light as the light source for short wavelengths. However, as the length of the gate reduces below 30nm, the patterning ability of current ArF lithography equipment for liquid immersion approaches its threshold.

The semiconductor industry has therefore been planning new semiconductor lithography under the name EUV in order to facilitate 10nm-class scale processing. EUV enables much better semiconductor circuit patterns without multi-patterning by using the light of a 13.5nm wavelength, much smaller than the current 193nm ArF wavelength. This decreases the number of manufacturing steps and hence shortens the output time of current multi-patterning, such as the Quadruple Patterning Technique. Applying EUV to chips like DRAMs, however, is a demanding method that needs the most sophisticated technologies. With respect to DRAMs, EUV is expected to be partly used in the manufacture of chips of 1ynm or less.

Global Semiconductor Lithography Equipment Market: By Industry

Based on the industry, the market has been segmented into manufacturing, retail & consumer goods, BFSI, telecommunication, government, and others. The manufacturing sector is likely to hold the largest market share of semiconductor lithography equipment.
The development in the manufacturing sector is attributed to the increase in demand for portable electronic products that use lithography techniques for manufacturing ICs, such as smart homes and fitness trackers, smartphones, and tablets. In addition, increasing investments by manufacturers in research & development activities to introduce technological innovations and deliver low-cost, high-precision semiconductor tools will stimulate the demand for lithography equipment in the near future.

Global Semiconductor Lithography Equipment Market: By End-User

According to the end-user, the market is categorized as IDM, foundry, and memory. IDM is foreseen to hold the largest market share due to increased investment by IDM companies to improve their R&D efforts for technically advanced and miniaturized products, like ultra-low-power microcontrollers, smart ICs, sensors, and RFID circuits, to fulfill strong demand in different verticals of the market.

IDM businesses also focus investments in upgrading their manufacturing facilities for specialized semiconductor devices, boosting demand for semiconductor manufacturing facilities. In April 2019, Texas Instruments declared that USD 3.1 billion will be spent on the construction of a new 300-millimeter wafer production facility in Texas, U.S. This new market growth would allow the company to increase the production of chips for a broad variety of applications, namely connected cars, industrial machinery, and smartphones.

Global Semiconductor Lithography Equipment Market: By Region

Due to the rise in the semiconductor industry combined with the involvement of a huge number of equipment manufacturers, the Asia Pacific lithography equipment market is likely to lead the global semiconductor lithography equipment market. Growing government financial assistance is attracting businesses to invest in the development of semiconductor manufacturing plants in the country. The Government of India is funding the development of a manufacturing facility using the new Gallium Nitride technology (semiconductor fab of GaN). Likewise, the Government of China revealed in May 2018 that it will spend approximately USD 50 billion to boost its ability to produce and develop semiconductor chips. Such high government adoption of portable electronic devices and programs is expected to contribute to the development of the semiconductor lithography equipment market in the country. Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are the primary contributors to the market's growth in the Asia Pacific. The presence of numerous renowned semiconductor foundries in the region is driving up demand for photolithography equipment. The presence of significant companies in the region's mobile devices and consumer electronics markets supports the demand for semiconductor products.

The North American market is expected to develop moderately. Deployment of semiconductor lithography equipment would be accelerated by the incorporation of sophisticated technologies in semiconductor production equipment, such as AI and IoT. As a result, the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market participants are likely to benefit from attractive growth prospects. Moreover, as IoT device proliferation develops as a consequence of the covid-19 pandemic, the development of chip industries in developing countries, and the increase in the volume of data centers and servers are all variables that would enhance the sales in the semiconductor lithography equipment market.
