As a key link in semiconductor inspection, mask inspection has much higher precision requirements than wafer inspection, because any dust, particles and other defects on the mask will be projected onto all exposed wafers through the lithography machine, resulting in a decrease in yield. Therefore, after the mask is exposed, it is crucial to use an integrated mask detection system to inspect the mask. The system uses wide-spectrum illumination or deep ultraviolet laser illumination, combined with high-resolution and large-aperture optical imaging technology, to obtain pattern images on the lithography mask plate, and accurately identify and determine defects with an extremely high defect capture rate, ensuring that once dust particles exceeding the specifications are found, all wafers in the lithography process will be reworked, thereby maintaining the quality of lithography.
In 2024, the global production of Reticle Inspection and Metrology Equipment was 187 units, and it is expected to exceed 356 units by 2031.
The core downstream customers are mask manufacturers. Mask suppliers are primarily divided into two categories: mask shops and chip manufacturers (fabs). Currently, the companies that can provide EUV masks are mainly Photronics, Toppan, DNP, and Hoya. Chip manufacturers often have their own mask production lines. For example, Intel mainly produces its own mask plates. TSMC not only manufactures for customers but also provides mask production.
The gross profit margin of such equipment is usually around 40-60%.
The semiconductor industry experienced major ups and downs in 2022. Although chip sales reached their highest annual total ever in 2022, a slowdown in the second half of the year greatly limited growth. In 2022, global semiconductor sales reached $574 billion, of which US semiconductor companies' sales totaled $275 billion, accounting for 48% of the global market. In 2023, due to the impact of the market economy and weakening terminal demand, semiconductor sales for the whole year fell to $526.8 billion. It is expected that in 2024, as downstream demand picks up, semiconductor market sales will reach about $550 billion.
Global mask inspection and measurement equipment companies are mainly distributed in the United States, Japan, China and other countries. The top core companies mainly include KLA, Lasertec, NuFlare, Applied Materials,, Carl Zeiss AG, Advantest etc. The top 5 companies have a share of more than 90%, and the market is mainly concentrated in the hands of the top companies.
With the continuous improvement of semiconductor manufacturing processes and the increasing complexity of integrated circuits, the role of masks in the lithography process has become increasingly prominent, and they play a vital role in ensuring the accurate replication of chip patterns. This trend has not only promoted the prosperity and development of the semiconductor industry, but also significantly promoted the continued growth in demand for mask detection and measurement equipment. As an indispensable part of the semiconductor production line, the detection accuracy and stability of mask detection and measurement equipment are directly related to the production quality and yield of wafers, and are a key link in ensuring that semiconductor products meet design requirements. Therefore, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the semiconductor industry and the continuous improvement of technical standards, the demand for mask detection and measurement equipment has also surged, injecting strong impetus into the booming development of its market.
