What Are The Key Trends Shaping The Wafer Fab Equipment Industry?
Noteworthy firms within the wafer fab equipment industry are striding towards the creation of enhanced products like high-sensitivity inspection systems to assure superior quality and dependability during semiconductor production processes. High-sensitivity inspection systems are intricate devices employed for the detection of minuscule faults or inconsistencies present on wafers and chips, thereby improving the product quality, increasing yield, and diminishing the chances of device breakdowns. A sample of this is the GT2000 high-precision electron beam metrology system, launched by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, a Japanese enterprise adept in the manufacture of state-of-the-art technologies and devices, in December 2023. This system is an exhibition of Hitachi High-Tech's competence in CD-SEM technology and caters to the stringent requirements of the semiconductor device advancement and mass production in the High-NA EUV era. Its key features include an ultra-low acceleration voltage of 100V and an ultra-fast multi-point measurement feature that minimally affects resist damage. This, in turn, ensures the precise and rapid examination of avant-garde 3D semiconductor devices, such as those incorporating GAA and CFET structures. The principal intent of this system is to augment both yield and measurement precision during sophisticated semiconductor production procedures, thereby abetting the research, development, and mass-production phases.
