Description

The global Photon Emission Microscope(PEM) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 166 million in 2025 to US$ 239 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2026 to 2032.

Light emission microscopy (PEM), also known as EMMI, is a microscope used to detect defects and failure points in semiconductor devices. It uses high-gain cameras or detectors to detect trace amounts of photons emitted by defects or failures in semiconductor devices, and locates the failure point through image processing technology. PEM is a new defect location analysis technology developed in the 1990s and has the characteristics of high sensitivity and high resolution. It can quickly and accurately locate device failure defects in a wide range, so it is widely used in device failure analysis.

In the upstream segment, key components include high-sensitivity detectors (such as InGaAs, Si-CCD, or sCMOS sensors), high-precision optical lenses, and filtering systems. Among these, the detector and optical module are the core technologies.Global sales in 2024 were approximately 180 units, with prices varying significantly depending on configuration, brand, and sourcing channels, ranging from approximately US$400,000 to US$1.3 million per unit. The industry's gross profit margin is between 30% and 50%.

With the continuous iteration of advanced integrated circuit manufacturing processes and the advancement of chip feature sizes into the nanometer scale, circuit density and complexity have increased dramatically. Precise and non-destructive localization analysis of subtle charge leaks and defect locations has become essential, making PEM (Programmable Image Processing) an irreplaceable core tool for non-destructive failure analysis.The primary challenge lies in the extremely high cost of equipment and the significant technological barriers. High-performance PEM systems involve complex ultra-sensitive detectors, high-precision objectives, and proprietary image processing algorithms, which limits their primary users to a few large semiconductor companies and top-tier analytical laboratories.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
