About the Mask Inspection Equipment Market The semiconductor market is shifting toward complex and miniaturized devices. Semiconductor device manufacturers need higher inspection sensitivity as they move toward lower node sizes (10nm and beyond). The migration will introduce complex structures and designs, as well as new materials. Mask inspection equipment is fab equipment that is used, before lithography, to inspect photomasks for defects during the production of semiconductor wafers. It is also used for R&D purposes. The increase in the application of semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) in segments like consumer electronics, automobiles, and industries is prompting IC vendors to raise their production scales. This will compel the vendors to demand more mask inspection equipment to ensure maximum reliability of their offerings. Technavio’s analysts forecast the global mask inspection equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 11.27% during the period 2016-2020. Covered in this report The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global mask inspection equipment market for 2016-2020.
