Failure analysis in the semiconductor industry refers to an engineering approach to determine why and how a semiconductor component is not functioning in a desired way. Usually, failures are caused owing to improper maintenance, manufacturing defects, design errors, assembly errors, inadequate quality assurance, improper heat treatments, and inadequate environmental protection.

Dual-beam Technology Segment to Lead Global Failure Analysis Equipment Market in Semiconductor Industry

The global failure analysis equipment market in the semiconductor industry is segmented into transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), dual beam (FIB/SEM) systems, focused ion beam system (FIB), and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

According to research, the expanding usage of focused ion beam systems was responsible for leading the segment to the topmost position in terms of revenue in 2013. However, market watchers predict that the dual beam systems (FIB/SEM) segment will surpass all other segments to be the fastest growing one, due to the wide range of benefits it provides over single-beam FIB systems. The dual beam systems (FIB/SEM) segment is expected to grow at a stupendous CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period. Depending on the types of users, the failure analysis equipment market in the semiconductor industry is segmented into fabless FA labs, specialty labs, fab failure analysis (FA) labs, and others.

Dr. Lynwood Swanson, founder of FEI, received a Heritage Award for his ingenious contribution to the development of ion and electron microscopy in the dual-beam technology field. His designs have helped manufacturers ease the challenges of making devices with “sub-micron” dimensions. The innovations in ion beam milling technology have helped manufacturers get a clearer picture of the defect, thus assisting them in diagnosing the root cause of the problem. This precision offered by the dual-beam technology is likely to change the shape of this segment in the forecast period.

A new report has been published by Transparency Market Research, titled “Failure Analysis Equipment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020”. TMR, a market intelligence company based in the U.S., states in its report that the global failure analysis equipment market in the semiconductor industry was estimated to be worth US$1.28 billion in 2013 and is growing at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2014 and 2020.Failure analysis is termed as an engineering approach to uncover how and why a component or equipment is not working in the desired manner. For the most part, failures are brought about because of manufacturing defects, improper maintenance, assembly errors, misuse or abuse, design errors, fastener failure, improper material, unforeseen operating conditions, improper heat treatments, inadequate quality assurance, casting discontinuities, and inadequate environmental protection\control.

Growth of Infrastructure to Keep Asia Pacific in the Leading Position

Geographically, the global failure analysis equipment market in the semiconductor industry is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW). The report suggests that Asia Pacific generated maximum revenue in this market and held nearly half the global market in 2013. This hierarchy is expected to continue due to monumental growth in semiconductor technology and increasing investment in education and research infrastructure in this region.

Major players across the four regional segments of the global failure analysis equipment market in the semiconductor industry include FEI, Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH, and JEOL, Ltd.
