Global E-Beam Wafer Inspection System Market 2015-2019

Market outlook of the global e-beam wafer inspection system market
Electron beam or e-beam wafer inspection system is a semiconductor fab equipment, which is used during the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, to find a defect in the wafers before packaging it. As the use of semiconductor wafer is predominant over a wide range of industries like consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial segment, the e-beam wafer inspection system is certain to grow. Technavio’s market research analysts expect the global e-beam wafer inspection system market to grow at a significant CAGR of close to 20% during the forecast period.

The rising adoption of certain communication devices and consumer electronic equipment such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, LCDs, LEDs, and SSDs has indirectly led to the high demand for superior quality semiconductor such as silicon based wafers, which play a key role in ICs. Consequently, as the demand for semiconductor wafers increases, the need for wafer inspection system also rises in order to keep a check on the process and quality of the wafers.
