Global Infrared Spectroscopy for Semiconductor Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Infrared Spectroscopy for Semiconductor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 77.20 million in 2025 to US$ 119 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2026 to 2032.
Infrared Spectroscopy for Semiconductor refers to infrared (IR) spectroscopic measurement systems that are configured for semiconductor materials and manufacturing needs—i.e., to obtain IR absorption “fingerprints” and quantitative concentrations of specific bonds/impurities in wafers and films, and to support process/control decisions.
The upstream chain combines (1) core opto-electronics and precision mechanics (IR source or laser, interferometer/monochromator, IR optics and beam splitters/windows, detectors such as DTGS/MCT/InSb, purge/vacuum modules, and vibration/thermal stability design), (2) wafer-ready automation (wafer stages/handlers, mapping recipes, cleanroom-compatible enclosures), and (3) metrology software + traceability (spectral libraries, baseline/peak fitting algorithms, and calibration using certified or traceable reference wafers/materials such as NIST SRMs referenced by the standards).
Downstream users include silicon/wafer suppliers, epi/thin-film process lines, and fabs/labs for incoming QC, process development, and failure analysis. FTIR-based semiconductor tools are widely used to measure wafer impurity content (O/C) and can also support epitaxial coating thickness and other wafer metrics with semiconductor-oriented sampling/handling designs.
In 2025, global sales of Infrared Spectroscopy for Semiconductor reached approximately 1,052 units, with an average global market price of around US$ 75 K/unit. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 40% to 60%.
Semiconductor manufacturing keeps tightening tolerance for impurities and organic contamination, and changes in incoming materials or process conditions can introduce complex residues from photoresists, packaging polymers, and cleaning chemistries. Infrared spectroscopy provides a “molecular fingerprint,” enabling fast identification of functional groups and bonding information without destroying the sample. As a result, it is widely used in wafer incoming inspection and materials labs for quantitative control of key impurities such as oxygen and carbon, and for monitoring hydrogen-related absorption in films such as silicon nitride. For metrics like interstitial oxygen in silicon, mature infrared-absorption standards and quality-control workflows have been established, making IR a stable, repeatable requirement across wafer fabs, wafer suppliers, and materials laboratories.
As process materials extend beyond silicon into a broader set of dielectric films, advanced-packaging organics, and emerging power-device substrates, demand is shifting from single-point measurements toward automated mapping and imaging, and IR is increasingly embedded in failure-analysis and fast root-cause workflows. Buyers prioritize cleanroom compatibility, automated handling, algorithms and data traceability, and efficient correlation with electrical tests, microscopy, and other spectroscopies. Because downtime is costly, calibration, maintenance, and spare-parts responsiveness also carry significant weight in purchasing decisions. Suppliers with robust optical platforms, detector and microscopy/imaging capability, and strong long-term service around standardized methods tend to build stickiness with leading fabs, materials vendors, and third-party failure-analysis labs.
