Global Wafer Defect Inspection System Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Wafer Defect Inspection System market size is expected to reach $ 15940 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 9.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Wafer defect inspection system detects physical defects (foreign substances called particles) and pattern defects on wafers and obtains the position coordinates (X, Y) of the defects. Defects can be divided into random defects and systematic defects.
Random defects are mainly caused by particles that become attached to a wafer surface, so their positions cannot be predicted. The major role of a wafer defect inspection system is to detect defects on a wafer and find out their positions (position coordinates).
On the other hand, systematic defects are caused by the conditions of the mask and exposure process, and will occur in the same position on the circuit pattern of all the dies projected. They occur in locations where the exposure conditions are very difficult and require fine adjustment.
The wafer defect inspection system detects defects by comparing the image of the circuit patterns of the adjacent dies. As a result, systematic defects sometimes cannot be detected using a conventional wafer defect inspection system.
Inspection can be performed on a patterned process wafer or on a bare wafer. Each of these has a different system configuration. Below is an explanation of typical inspection systems; Patterned wafer inspection system and Non-patterned wafer inspection system.
The global key manufacturers of Wafer Defect Inspection System include KLA Corporation, Applied Materials, ASML, Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, Onto Innovation, Camtek, Skyverse Technology, SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions, Lasertec, NEXTIN, etc. In 2023, the global top 10 players had a share approximately 92.0% in terms of revenue.
In Patterned Wafer Defect Inspection Systems segment are dominated by KLA and Applied Materials;
Unpatterned Wafer Inspection Systems are dominated by KLA and Hitachi High-Tech Corporation; e-Beam Wafer Defect Review and Classification Systems are dominated by ASML and Applied Materials.
The global market for semiconductor was estimated at US$ 526.8 billion in the year 2023, is projected to US$ 780.7 billion by 2030. IC Manufacturing is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits (ICs) such as computer processors, microcontrollers, and memory chips (such as NAND flash and DRAM). According to our research, the global semiconductor manufacturing (wafer fabrication) market is projected to grow from US$ 251.7 billion in 2023 to US$ 506.5 billion by 2030, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 40.49% during the forecast period. This will drive rapid growth of global Wafer Defect Inspection System.
