Global Semiconductor Laser Annealing Machine Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Semiconductor Laser Annealing Machine market size is predicted to grow from US$ 965 million in 2025 to US$ 1811 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2025 to 2031.

In the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, in order to form specific doping in silicon wafers, multiple ion implantation processes are required during the manufacturing process. During the ion input process, the bombardment of impurity ions will cause a certain degree of lattice damage to the silicon atoms in the wafer, resulting in the impurity ions not being able to be located in the correct lattice position and not having the proper electrical activity. Therefore, the wafer needs to be heat treated to repair the lattice and activate the electrical activity of the impurity ions. This heat treatment process is called annealing.

Semiconductor laser annealing machine refers to special equipment that uses high-energy laser beams for automated annealing processes. Its main function is to project a beam spot of a specific shape and uniform energy distribution onto a semiconductor wafer to anneal, scan and process the wafer. Compared with traditional furnace annealing and rapid annealing technology, laser annealing has the advantages of high instantaneous temperature, short action time, low thermal budget, and optional area processing, which can better meet the process requirements of thin-film processing and efficient activation. At present, laser annealing equipment has been widely used in the field of cutting-edge logic chip manufacturing.

Semiconductor Laser Annealing Machine can be divided into power laser annealing equipment and IC front-end laser annealing equipment. Power laser annealing equipment accounts for more than half, and IC front-end laser annealing equipment has the fastest growth rate. In 2023, the power annealing market share is about 55%. IGBT has become one of the fastest-growing power devices with its excellent performance. With the maturity of wafer thinning technology, thin-film high-voltage IGBT will become a future development trend; in addition, as the research and development of the third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor material SiC becomes more mature, the demand for SiC devices will gradually increase. Laser annealing technology is suitable for thin-film high-voltage IGBT and SiC products, and will continue to be one of the mainstream technologies in the future.

The development of the semiconductor laser annealing machine market is mainly driven by the downstream power device market and the advanced process chip market. In the field of power devices, power devices can be divided into traditional silicon-based devices and wide bandgap material devices according to material type. At present, silicon-based devices with a wide application base will still be the mainstream products for a long time in the future, such as IGBT. Benefiting from the development of industrial control, frequency conversion, and new energy industries, my country's power device industry will maintain steady growth. In addition, as the world's largest IGBT market, China has a large space for import substitution, and the acceleration of the localization process will benefit domestic equipment manufacturers.

The major semiconductor laser annealing machine manufacturers in the global market include Mitsui Group (JSW), Sumitomo Heavy Industries, SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions, Applied Materials and Veeco, etc. The top five companies in the world account for nearly 87% of the market. The overall market concentration is high, and most of the high-end market is monopolized by foreign companies. It is expected that industry competition will become more intense in the next few years, especially in the Chinese market.
