Description

Definition and Scope:

According to LookWhole Insight, the global Semiconductor Etch Equipment market is projected to reach USD 23.83 Billion in 2024. It is expected to grow to USD 47.03 Billion by 2033, register-ing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.85% during the forecast period (2025–2033). -

Etching is one of the core processes in semiconductor manufacturing—alongside lithography and thin film deposition—and is primarily responsible for removing specific materials to form intricate microstructures. Etching equipment accounts for approximately 22%–25% of the total value of front-end semiconductor manufacturing tools, highlighting its critical role in the industry.

Plasma dry etching is currently the mainstream etching technique and is mainly divided into two categories: ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) and CCP (Capacitively Coupled Plasma). ICP is suitable for etching silicon, metals, and some dielectrics, while CCP is mainly used for dielectric etching. The market share between ICP and CCP is fairly balanced.

As transistor dimensions continue to shrink, demands for etching precision are growing. Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) has emerged to meet these challenges. ALE, considered the mirror process of ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition), features self-limiting reactions and achieves atomic-level precision. It is already being applied in processes requiring atomic-level control, such as self-aligned contacts, and holds significant promise for future scaling.

The global etching equipment market is characterized by an oligopolistic structure, with the three major players—LAM Research, Tokyo Electron (TEL), and Applied Materials (AMAT)—collectively accounting for over 90% of the global market share. Among them, LAM alone commands nearly 50%, highlighting its strong monopoly.
