Description

Definition and Scope:

An etch system shapes the thin film into a desired patterns using liquid chemicals, reaction gases or ion chemical reaction. An etch system is used in manufacturing lines for semiconductors and other electronic devices.

The global Metal and Hard Mask Etch System market size is projected to reach US$ 2278.75 Million by 2028, from US$ 1286.58 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 8.35% during 2022-2028. The continuous advancement of the process and the increasingly complex design structureThe continuous advancement of the process and the increasing complexity of the design structure are the core logics driving the etching equipment market. The electronics industry has always had the logic of looking at the upstream from the downstream, and the upstream and downstream linkage effects are significant. With the continuous advancement of the process and the innovation of the design structure, the chip manufacturing process has continued to develop. On the one hand, the difficulty of etching has increased, which has promoted the iteration of etching equipment; on the other hand, the increase in etching steps has driven the demand for etching equipment.

In addition, the huge investment proportion of etching equipment in semiconductor equipment, the rapid rise of new applications and new markets and the Chinese government's strong support for the semiconductor industry will become important for the development of Metal and Hard Mask Etch System Market driving force.

Challenges posed by pandemics and natural disasters, geographical effects of the US China Trade War, raw material prices continue to risk, and key materials are in the hands of a few countries, plus the new demand of the terminal application market is not yet clear, which will hinder the development of theMetal and Hard Mask Match System Market.
