Global Semiconductor EUV Pellicles Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Semiconductor EUV Pellicles market size is predicted to grow from US$ 102 million in 2025 to US$ 170 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2025 to 2031.

Semiconductor EUV Pellicles are thin, transparent films that are used in the fabrication of semiconductor chips. They are made of materials that can withstand the high temperatures and harsh chemicals used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. EUV stands for extreme ultraviolet, which is a type of radiation used in the lithography process to pattern and etch the semiconductor materials. Pellicles play a crucial role in this process as they help to transfer the pattern from a photomask to the semiconductor substrate, enabling the production of complex electronic circuits.

Initially, the pellicle was a single-layer structure with a core layer made of polysilicon. Since 2021, EUV pellicle have adopted composite materials. Its key components now consist of alternating molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) and silicon (Si) layers to form a multi-layer structure. EUV transmittance (EUVT) is a key performance indicator of EUV pellicle. The transition from a single-layer structure to a multi-layer structure has increased EUVT from about 82% to about 90%. The next generation of film technology will go beyond structural changes (from single-layer to multi-layer) and introduce material advances, leading to the emergence of CNT pellicle.

Driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and computing technology, the semiconductor industry's demand for advanced chips continues to grow, with the fastest growth in chips below 7nm manufactured using EUV technology. In advanced processes of 7nm and below, the pattern size on the mask may be only tens of nanometers, which places extremely strict requirements on the uniformity and defect control of the Pellicle. The next generation of high-power EUV lithography machines operates at more than 500W, and EUV films are needed to protect the photomask from particle contamination during chip production.

In recent years, the phenomenon of chipmakers adopting extreme ultraviolet (EUV) processes in their advanced chip manufacturing is rapidly increasing. To meet this growing demand, many companies are developing protective films for EUV processes.

ASML launched its first EUV pellicle in 2019 and licensed the technology to Mitsui Chemicals, which began mass sales in 2021. Since then, ASML has made improvements to its pellicle. It is reported that Mitsui Chemicals' next-generation CNT pellicle production facility will be completed by the end of 2025.

In 2021, South Korean company S&S Tech developed a pellicle with a transmittance of more than 90%. FST's EUV pellicle is still in the development stage.

Canatu has been working with Imec since 2015 to develop CNT pellicle to meet performance targets such as life and transmittance, thermal durability, permeability and strength.
