Which market trends are set to define the future of the semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market?
Major companies operating in the semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market are developing technologically advanced products, such as non-patterned wafer surface inspection systems, to detect and analyze surface defects and irregularities early in the manufacturing process. A non-patterned wafer surface inspection system is a device used to detect and analyze surface defects and irregularities on semiconductor wafers that do not have pre-existing patterns or circuitry. For instance, in March 2024, Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, a Japan-based semiconductor wafer inspection equipment company, launched the LS9300AD. The LS9300AD is an advanced system designed for inspecting the front and backside of non-patterned wafer surfaces for particles and defects. It combines conventional dark-field laser scattering detection with a new Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) inspection function, allowing it to identify irregular and shallow, low-aspect microscopic defects. Utilizing the wafer edge grip method and a rotating stage, the LS9300AD ensures comprehensive inspection of both sides of the wafer. This innovative system from Hitachi High-Tech significantly reduces inspection costs and enhances yield for semiconductor wafer and device manufacturers by delivering high-sensitivity and high-throughput detection of microscopic defects.
