GLOBAL WAFER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM MARKET

INTRODUCTION

This wafer measurement device is an effective instrument for measuring the thickness and evaluating the impurities in Si wafers.

Measurement of wafers To reach extremely high degrees of planarity, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) employs mechanical and chemical abrasion to remove material from semiconductor wafers in a selective manner.

For optical lithography, a microfabrication method that creates integrated circuits (ICs) by transferring a geometric design from a photomask to a light-sensitive chemical photoresist, the planarity, or flatness, of these wafers is crucial. 

Optical lithography, also referred to as photolithography or UV lithography, is a technique for creating geometric patterns on thin films or directly on substrates.

Variations in wafer flatness during optical lithography must be lower than the depth of focus of the exposure tool over the lighted region of the wafer's top surface plus the thin layer (if any). In the absence of this, faulty IC patterns and subsequent manufacturing waste may happen.

GLOBAL WAFER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global Wafer Measurement SystemMarket accountedfor $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

The unveiling of a high-precision wafer alignment measurement tool for semiconductor lithography systems was announced by Canon Inc. today.

Wafer deformation is a developing problem in the production of sophisticated semiconductors, such as logic and memory chips, as a result of the manufacturing process' increasing complexity.

Wafer deformation measurements must be precise in order to overlay and expose with high precision several layers of circuit patterns inside a number of lithography systems, which is necessary for the production of semiconductor devices.

Alignment markers on wafers have expanded from a few to hundreds in more recent methods to guarantee the high accuracy needed for overlay. It takes a lot of time to measure hundreds of alignment marks, which lowers the productivity of the lithography equipment.

Using an alignment scope that uses an area sensor for multiple-pixel, low-noise imaging, Canon's MS-001 can measure alignment markings that are low in contrast, enabling measurement of a wider variety of alignment marks than are achievable with standard lithography systems.

A vital part of every semiconductor manufacturer's metrology capabilities, Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") today announced the release of the Hitachi Dark Field Wafer Defect Inspection System DI2800.
