Global Pellicle Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Pellicle market size was valued at US$ 910 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1520 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.6% during review period.
The pellicle is a part of the photomask. As a covering, the pellicle is suspended above the photomask to form a physical barrier. Even if particles fall on it, they will not touch the mask itself. The pellicle can effectively prevent mask contamination and plays a vital role in improving production efficiency and chip quality.
A pellicle is a thin membrane stretched over an aluminum frame and glued to the photomask to protect it from contaminants, such as particles. Even if particles sit on the membrane, they are not printed on the wafer/ flat panel displays because they are out of focus during the exposure from the lithography process.
The process of preparing this Pellicle is also full of scientific and technological content. Usually, precise vacuum coating technology such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used to form a uniform and dense film on the surface of the mask. This process requires precise control of parameters such as temperature, pressure and gas flow to ensure the quality and performance of the film.
Global key Pellicle players cover Mitsui Chemicals, Shin-Etsu, FINE SEMITECH, Micro Lithography, Inc., S&S Tech and INKO, etc. In terms of revenue, the global 3 largest companies occupied for a share nearly 85.67% in 2023.
From the perspective of downstream fields, the semiconductor field occupies a dominant position, accounting for about 74.17% in 2023. In semiconductor manufacturing, the role of this Pellicle is far more than simple physical protection. It can also effectively reduce the diffraction effect in the lithography process and improve the imaging quality. Especially in extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) technology, due to the extremely short wavelength of the light source (about 13.5nm), the traditional penetrating mask can no longer be used. At this time, the reflective mask and its Pellicle have become the key technology.
It is worth noting that with the continuous advancement of chip manufacturing technology, the requirements for the mask Pellicle are getting higher and higher. For example, in advanced processes of 7nm and below, the size of the pattern on the mask may be only tens of nanometers, which puts extremely stringent requirements on the uniformity and defect control of the Pellicle.
Globally, Asia (especially China, Taiwan, and South Korea) dominates the mask protective film market. China is playing an increasingly important role in the world. As China develops in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the demand for mask protective films in the region is also increasing.
