Market Share of Thin Wafer Processing And Dicing Equipment Industry
The market for thin wafer processing and dicing is semi-consolidated and comprises very few major players, such as Disco Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Nippon, and Pulse Motor Taiwan. The market still faces considerable challenges in the manufacturing processes of thin wafers. The above-mentioned factor has led to a slower entry of new players into the market. Nevertheless, the constant innovations and R&D efforts of market players help maintain a competitive edge. Therefore, competitive rivalry in the market is moderate.
- March 2024: Hitachi High-Tech Corporation announced the launch of the LS9300AD, a new system for inspecting the front and back sides of non-patterned wafer surfaces for particles and defects. In addition to the conventional dark-field laser scattering detection of foreign material and defects, the LS9300AD is equipped with a new DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) inspection function that enables the detection of irregular defects, even shallow, low-aspect microscopic defects. LS9300AD has the wafer edge grip method and rotating stage used in conventional products to enable front and backside wafer inspection.
- November 2023: Corning Inc. sold its German laser technology business to Suzhou Delphi Laser in China. The agreement involved Suzhou Delphi Laser acquiring the complete stake in the division known as Corning Laser Technologies.
