Global Failure Analysis Equipment Market 2014-2018: Key Vendors are Carl Zeiss AG, FEI Co, Hitachi High-Technologies & JEOL Ltd
M2 - Thu Jul 24, 9:15AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t54n6g/global_failure) has announced the addition of the "Global Failure Analysis Equipment Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Failure Analysis Equipment market will grow at a CAGR of 9.12 percent over the period 2013-2018. A recent trend in the Global Failure Analysis Equipment market is an increasing need for process automation. The evolution of ICs with additional functionality has enhanced the complexities involved in the design and development of ICs. This in turn has generated the need for high-end inspection techniques. Although electron microscopes are useful in performing several failure analysis operations, their disadvantages of being time and labor-intensive, and their limited resolution power, have forced the vendors to look for alternative equipment and techniques . According to the report, the growth of the Global Failure Analysis Equipment market is driven by several factors. The increasing demand for failure analysis equipment from a variety of industries is one of the main drivers. The Semiconductor and Embedded industries use this equipment widely during the development process of ICs to identify any defects at the nano level, helping reduce the cost that results from rejected products. Further, the report states that despite the presence of strong drivers, the growth of the Global Failure Analysis Equipment market is curtailed by certain serious challenges. One of the main challenges in this market is the high cost of failure analysis equipment. The average cost of a focused ion beam system is US$70,000, which makes it unaffordable to many end-users. The Global Failure Analysis Equipment market can be divided into two segments: - Focused Ion Beam Systems - Dual Beam Systems. Key Vendors - Carl Zeiss AG - FEI Co. - Hitachi High-Technologies Corp. - JEOL Ltd. Other Prominent Vendors - A&D Co. Ltd - Axcelis Technologies Inc. Key Topics Covered: - Executive Summary - List of Abbreviations - Scope of the Report - Market Research Methodology - Introduction - Market Landscape - Market Size and Forecast - Market Segmentation by Product - Geographical Segmentation - Buying Criteria - Market Growth Drivers - Drivers and their Impact - Market Challenges - Impact of Drivers and Challenges - Market Trends - Trends and their Impact - Vendor Landscape - Key Vendor Analysis For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t5...al_failure
Albemarle researchers and coalition partners make breakthrough in catalyst research technology
