Semiconductor Stepper Systems Market – The Rising Markets For Flip Chips And Advanced Packaging

Steppers are devices that are used for manufacturing integrated circuits (IC’s) which are similar in operation to slide projectors or photographic enlargers. Steppers comprise of an essential part in photolithography, (also known as optical lithography or UV lithography is used for micro-fabricating pattern of a thin film) which creates huge amounts of microscopic circuit elements on the surface of minute chips of silicon. Such chips comprise of the heart of the IC’s such as memory chips, and computer processors among others.

The market for semiconductor stepper systems is expected to witness a steady albeit a slow growth during the forecast period. Change in wafer sizes due to the reduction in the size of electronic devices is the major factor aiding in the growth of this market at present. Other key driving the semiconductor stepper systems market are inclusive of increasing usage of memory and logic IC’s which are widely used in computers, laptops, memory devices, storage and mobile devices and the rising markets for flip chips and advanced packaging.

Further, due to the reduction in node sizes, the semiconductor stepping systems market is witnessing the advent of semiconductor technologies which in turn, has affected the overall lithography process. Double patterning technique is a type of high resolution technique that increases the litho cost per function, thereby resulting in the increase of the overall cost of patterning. Thus, the increasing cost of litho functions is another key factor augmenting the growth of the overall semiconductor stepper systems market across the globe.

The market has been classified on the basis of application into Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), LED Devices and Advanced Packaging. The MEMS market was the largest market for semiconductor stepping devices and is expected to retain market dominance throughout the forecast period. MEMS find wide use across automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and defense segments among others for a variety of applications. Additionally, shifting preference towards vehicle automation such as in-car infotainment systems, navigation system and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) is fuelling the demand for MEMS sensors in the automotive industry, thereby fuelling the demand for semiconductor stepper systems market in this segment.
