Due to the extremely high added value of wafer production, the status of semiconductor testing equipment in the semiconductor industry has become increasingly prominent. In 2020, China's semiconductor testing equipment market will reach 17.6 billion yuan. With the continuous development of China's semiconductor industry, the market size of China's semiconductor testing equipment is expected to approach 40 billion yuan.
Semiconductor inspection is indispensable from design verification to final testing, throughout the entire semiconductor manufacturing process. Semiconductor testing includes design verification, process control testing, wafer testing (CP testing), and finished product testing (FT testing).
According to the "ten times rule" in electronic system fault detection, if a fault in a chip is not found during chip testing, the cost of finding the fault at the circuit board (PCB) level is ten times that of the chip level. Therefore, semiconductor testing equipment plays an important role in the semiconductor industry, and its position is increasingly prominent.
