Global Semiconductor Defect Review System Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Semiconductor Defect Review System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 945 million in 2025 to US$ 1414 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2031.

Defect review is a process that uses scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technology to carefully examine defects on semiconductor wafers. First, the defects on the wafer are initially identified by the defect detection system and their location coordinates are recorded in a file. These wafers and the inspection result files are then loaded into the defect review equipment. The review equipment detects and accurately locates defects by comparing with the circuit patterns of adjacent dies and using differential image processing technology. Then, the review equipment automatically moves each defect to the center of the field of view and takes a high-magnification image for further review and classification. This process mainly works in conjunction with the inspection systems of electronic equipment and other semiconductor production lines to ensure that defects are accurately identified and recorded.

Semiconductor defect review systems are high-precision devices used to review and confirm defects on wafers during the semiconductor manufacturing process. These devices are critical in the semiconductor production process because they help identify and classify defects, ensure product quality and improve yield.At present, the main mask inspection/review technologies are optics and SEM. The representative companies of optical defect review are Lasertec and TASMIT, Inc. The representative companies of DR-SEM are KLA, Applied Materials, Hitachi High-Tech, Holon, and ADVANTEST.

Market Trend:

1. The investment of various foundries in cutting-edge nodes such as advanced packaging is progressing steadily. Wafer inspection and review equipment needs to adapt to more complex packaging structures and higher precision requirements. This will drive the continuous upgrading of wafer inspection equipment in terms of resolution, inspection speed and data processing capabilities to meet the accurate detection of tiny defects and packaging structure integrity.

2. The investment focus in the memory field, especially DRAM (HBM) and NAND, will promote the technological innovation of wafer inspection and review equipment in memory chip inspection. In view of the special structure and performance requirements of memory chips, the inspection and review equipment need to have higher inspection accuracy and more comprehensive inspection capabilities to ensure the quality and reliability of the chips.
