Abstract

The global photomask business faces both substantial opportunities and challenges in the coming decade. The semiconductor business is forecasted to grow at 9.9% CAGR from 2020 - 20301 which will drive growth in the photomask market. Coincident with this predicted growth, the photomask industry is facing significant equipment obsolescence issues that will require many of the legacy tools that support <=28nm technology to be renewed or retired and replaced in this timeframe. This presentation will review the challenges that these trends present to the photomask and semiconductor market. We will review the lithography system growth estimates from our previously published paper and extend that analysis to all photomask equipment. The business implications of this environment are critical to both the semiconductor and photomask supply chain.
