EUV mask defect detection equipment refers to the specialized tools and systems used to identify and analyze defects on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) masks. EUV masks are critical components used in EUV lithography, a cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing technology. These masks contain the patterns that are projected onto the silicon wafer to create the intricate circuitry of microchips.

 Mask defect detection is a key link in the semiconductor lithography process, aiming to inspect the mask and identify and repair defects on it. As a crucial component in the photolithography process, the mask is responsible for accurately transferring circuit patterns to the wafer. Its quality is directly related to the accuracy of the wafer pattern and the performance of the final device. Defects range from particle contamination, pattern breakage, bridging issues to defects in the mask material itself.

EUV mask defect detection equipment is a special equipment that plays an important role in high-end semiconductor manufacturing processes. Given the high precision required by EUV lithography, even the tiniest defects on the mask may significantly affect the quality of the circuit patterns on the wafer, thereby adversely affecting chip performance and yield. Therefore, the use of specialized testing equipment to strictly inspect EUV masks is an indispensable key link to ensure the quality of semiconductor manufacturing.

At present, mask inspection technology is mainly optical inspection and SEM inspection. Among them, optical inspection companies are mainly Lasertec and KLA, while SEM inspection is Advant. From the perspective of downstream applications, as long as the protective film Pellicle is used in the mask, EUV mask inspection equipment needs to be used (in other words, as long as there is an EUV lithography machine, EUV inspection equipment must be used), but At present, not all EUV masks from downstream terminal manufacturers will be used with Pellicle.

According to the new market research report "EUV Mask Defect Detection Equipment - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2024-2030", published by QYResearch, the global EUV Mask Defect Detection Equipment market size is projected to grow from USD xx million in 2023 to USD xx million by 2030, at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period.

Market Drivers:

The support of national policies is the core driving force for the development of the industry: EUV mask inspection equipment belongs to a small category in the semiconductor industry. Many countries and regions support the technological innovation and development of their own companies in the semiconductor field by providing financial subsidies, tax incentives, and R&D funds. For example, the CHIPS and Science Act signed by the US President in August 2022 mentioned the provision of US$52.7 billion in semiconductor manufacturing subsidies; the European Union passed the EU Chips Act political agreement on April 18, 2023, and is expected to provide 43 billion euros in semiconductor manufacturing subsidies; the United Kingdom also released the National Semiconductor Strategy on May 19, 2023, planning to provide 1 billion pounds of assistance to semiconductor manufacturing and R&D units in the next 10 years.

High-resolution/NA detection: High-resolution and advanced numerical aperture (NA) detection: Given the continued reduction in process nodes, EUV mask defect detection equipment is in urgent need of higher resolution capabilities. Looking ahead, these devices will integrate more advanced sensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to achieve unprecedented detection accuracy and sensitivity to ensure that increasingly stringent manufacturing process standards are met.

Multifunctional integration: With the rapid development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the functional requirements of EUV mask defect detection equipment are becoming increasingly diversified. The future development trend will be to move towards multifunctional integration, not only limited to simple defect detection, but also covering additional functions such as automatic defect classification, precise positioning and even preliminary repair, thereby comprehensively improving the overall performance and operating efficiency of the equipment.

Restraint:

Complexity of EUV masks: EUV masks are more complex than traditional masks, especially in terms of structural design and manufacturing. EUV masks use multi-layer mirrors, and even very small defects may have a serious impact on the performance of the final chip. It becomes extremely difficult to detect these extremely fine defects (such as nano-scale depressions, particles or pattern defects). Existing defect detection technologies must continue to improve resolution and accuracy.

Technical barriers to detection: The short wavelength of EUV light (13.5 nanometers) increases the difficulty of detection, because traditional detection methods cannot effectively detect extremely small mask defects. Therefore, the development of high-precision detection tools requires the use of innovative optical, electron beam or other advanced imaging and analysis technologies, which are themselves very complex and have a long R&D cycle.

Equipment costs and maintenance costs are expensive: EUV mask defect detection equipment is one of the most expensive semiconductor equipment in the world. The manufacture of these high-precision equipment requires cutting-edge materials and technologies, such as high-resolution imaging technology and high-energy light sources, which greatly increases the cost of R&D and manufacturing. In addition, in order to achieve high-precision detection, the equipment also needs to operate in an ultra-clean and ultra-stable environment, which further increases the cost of infrastructure construction. EUV equipment maintenance requires expertise and high-tech equipment maintenance, further increasing the total cost.

High quality requirements: EUV masks have a very low tolerance for defects, especially as process nodes shrink (such as 5nm, 3nm), each nanometer-level defect may cause a decrease in chip yield. Therefore, the equipment needs to not only detect defects, but also be able to classify and assess the severity of defects so that they can be repaired during the manufacturing process.

Opportunity:

Commercial applications brought about by technological progress: With the advancement of semiconductor technology, the process nodes of chips are constantly shrinking, from 7nm, 5nm to 3nm or even smaller. These advanced process nodes have very high requirements for the quality of masks, and more accurate defect detection equipment is required to ensure production quality. In addition, EUV lithography technology has become a key technology for achieving process nodes of 7nm and below. The development of EUV mask defect inspection equipment is directly related to the application of EUV lithography technology.

End market demand: The chip size of logic devices such as GPUs used by ChatGPT and Generative A1 is very large. Doubling the size of the mask doubles the probability of particles landing on the mask compared to masks with smaller chip sizes, so pellicles are expected to be used in the future. Once the pellicle is attached, other types of equipment (such as electron beam or DUV) cannot detect it with high sensitivity except EUV inspection equipment. With the development of miniaturization, defects and particles that were previously too small to be a problem will also affect the yield of devices. The need to detect such tiny defects and particles will increase the demand for EUV mask defect inspection equipment.
