Electronics.ca Publications - The Semiconductor Photomask Market: to $2.7 Billion in 2011

Store this angel in big sizeELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS, the electronics industry bazaar analysis and ability network, announces the availability of a new address advantaged "Photomask Characterization Summary".

The common semiconductor photomask bazaar is estimated to be $2.9 billion in 2008 and forecasted to abatement to $2.5 billion in 2009, according to a new bazaar analysis address accessible at Electronics.ca Publications. Coming out of the accepted downturn, the photomask bazaar is forecasted to be $2.7 billion by 2011, with beat technology affection sizes (less than 65 nm) and regions in Asia-Pacific arch the market.

Optical lithography continues to advance out new technology approaches, including acute ultraviolet (EUV), maskless lithography and nano-imprint. Immersion lithography is the technology of best for 45 nm processing and began high-volume accomplishment in the additional bisected of 2008 - a year delayed from antecedent announcements. Double-patterning will act as a arch to32 nm. Computational lithography has emerged as a able applicant to extend optical lithography to 22 nm. When and if EUV is adopted will be bent by amount and developing a new accumulation alternation for this advocate technology.

This raises conceivably the a lot of alarming claiming faced by photomask suppliers: bread-and-butter questions outweigh abstruse issues. As curve shrink, added beat photomask accoutrement and abstracts will be required, but due to bound barter brief to abate geometries, the photomask industry have to antithesis a shrinking bazaar with ascent development and basic costs.

Rising affectation costs are consistently aloft as a analytical affair in the semiconductor industry, abnormally for the low-volume-per-design business segments in foundries and ASICs. With lithography ambit abutting their banned and the call for connected improvement, the industry is seeing accretion chat and compromises amid the technology and architecture communities.

The new report, Photomask Characterization Summary, provides data on the 2008 Photomask Market for seven regions of apple including North America, Japan, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, China, and Rest of World. The address aswell includes abstracts for anniversary of these regions from 2004 to 2011.

Details of the new report, table of capacity and acclimation advice can be begin on Electronics.ca Publications' web site. View the report: www.electronics.ca/publications/products/Photomask-Charac...
