About Optical Metrology
Optical metrology is a technique that utilizes the interaction of light with an object to evaluate or assess unknown quantities. Measurement principles that are based on the propagation of light are inherently non-contacting and mostly non-invasive. The potential to operate in large measurement volumes and the ability to set the focus of the measurement exactly at the desired point are the major benefits of the optical metrology technique. Therefore, optical metrology systems are used by semiconductor companies worldwide during the semiconductor manufacturing process.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Optical Metrology market to grow at a CAGR of 6.43 percent over the period 2013-2018.
