It involves the use of inspection equipment to check for compliance or non-compliance, as well as abnormality or unsuitability, in terms of specific criteria. It is a process for detecting any particles or defects in a wafer. Specifically, it is aimed at finding the position coordinates of defects (X, Y).
Is the semiconductor metrology inspection equipment market competitive?
The semiconductor metrology inspection equipment market is highly competitive owing to the presence of multiple players in the market. The market appears to be consolidated due to the presence of a few companies offering the solutions. Some of the recent developments by the companies are as follows:
How is Senduro MEMS used in semiconductor inspection?
The SENDURO MEMS provides reliable and precise measurement of thin-film stacks, using spectroscopic reflectometry and ellipsometry. It also allows the handling of double-side wafers. Also, Edge grip wafer handling with small edge exclusion is optionally available for 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm wafers.
What are the different types of inspection companies?
There are several types of inspections available throughout the production process; First-Article, In-Process and Pre-Shipment inspections. As one of the longest serving global inspection companies, our Account Managers will provide guidance to ensure chosen product inspection service meet the most stringent quality requirements.
How big is the semiconductor inspection equipment market?
The semiconductor metrology/inspection equipment market is expected to reach a value of USD 5,247.68 million by 2026 from USD 4164.7 million in 2020 at a CAGR of 4.26% during the period 2021-2026. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, in 2020, the expected market size of semiconductors would be USD 433.03 billion.

Why are metrology and inspection important in semiconductor manufacturing?
If any defects occur early on in the process, all the work undertaken in the subsequent time-consuming steps will be wasted. Metrology and inspection processes are therefore established at critical points of semiconductor manufacturing process to ensure that a certain yield can be confirmed and maintained.
