Global Thin Film Metrology Systems Market 2014-2018 with Nanometrics, Nova, KLA-Tencor, and Rudolph Tech Dominating
M2 - Thu Feb 27, 5:43AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/88jdgs/global_thin_film) has announced the addition of the "Global Thin Film Metrology Systems Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Thin Film Metrology Systems market to grow at a CAGR of 5% percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the major trends emerging in the Global Thin Film Metrology Systems market is the increased R&D spending by the market vendors. Vendors such as Rudolph, KLA-Tencor, Nanometrics, and Nova Measuring Instruments have already invested a considerable amount of time and money in their R&D departments for the expansion of their product portfolios. They are also increasingly investing in their R&D divisions to provide enhanced functionality and to meet the unsatisfied requirements of end-consumers. The R&D investments have enabled them to capture a significant market share and gain a competitive edge over the other vendors in the market. According to the report, the high demand for thin film metrology systems for the development of flat panel displays is an important driver. These systems are used for measuring the thin films used in the flat panel displays of portable mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and e-readers. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in this market is the cyclical nature of the Semiconductor industry. The Semiconductor industry is one of the major end-users of thin film metrology systems, and any fluctuations in this industry inevitably leads to fluctuations in the Global Thin Film Metrology Systems market.

Global and Chinese Semiconductor Equipment Industry Report, 2013-2014
M2 - Fri Feb 14, 2:56AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h4sxrs/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Semiconductor Equipment Industry Report, 2013-2014" report to their offering. After two years of recession, the semiconductor equipment market is projected to achieve growth in 2014. In 2011, the semiconductor equipment market size hit a record high of USD43.532 billion, but it witnessed a drop by 15.2% in 2012 and a further decline by 8.1% in 2013. The reduction came mainly as the steep decrease of backlog orders from North America and South Korea. Notably, the contracted orders from North America resulted largely from the glooming PC market and Intel's reduction of capital expenditure for equipment, while the shrinkage of orders from South Korea was heavily duel to the suspension of investment in DRAM. In 2014, the driving force of the semiconductor equipment market is mainly sourced from foundry and memory. In particular, foundry began to step into 20nm domain, while memory is ushering in 3D era. In the era of 20nm, semiconductor vendors employ two routes: double/multiple patterning and EUV. Double/multiple patterning is more technologically advanced than EUV, although it means substantial cost rise in manufacturing and equipments, especially for etching equipments. EUV can cut the manufacturing and equipments cost significantly, albeit EUV itself costs as high as USD100 million. But counted by the total cost, 14nm wafer equipped with EUV technology is roughly 40% lower than that equipped with multiple patterning technology. However, there are many hurdles for EUV remained to be addressed. One of them is light source. Multiple e-beam direct write is well low-efficiency, thus failing to meet the standard for practical use. Equipment vendors have failed to catch up with the development of foundry, especially the ASML which almost monopolize the global lithography market, so foundry will have to slow down their pace towards advanced node. The cost of multiple patterning may be OK for customers, but it is not the case when it comes to the cost of triple patterning. Nevertheless, this cannot prevent industrial players from making continued research, so the procurement of equipments still keeps growing. Taiwan became the largest semiconductor equipment market. Taiwan-based industrial players such as TSMC and UMC make bulk buying of advanced equipments. The estimate shows that Taiwan semiconductor equipment market size will bag USD10.99 billion by 2014 and that the figure by 2015 will slightly decline to USD10.88 billion.
