Global Wafer Probe Station Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Market Overview

of Global Wafer Probe Station market:
The latest research study on the global Wafer Probe Station market finds that the global Wafer Probe Station market reached a value of USD 1013.56 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1626.3 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period.

Opportunity from development of IoT
With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), more devices will connect to the Internet in the future. A large amount of data will be transmitted through the cloud, requiring semiconductor technology to transform the data into serviceable information. Semiconductor manufacturers are required to provide flexibility in test setups to accommodate a variety of designs. There is a growing need for correlation between instruments and equipment, which can only be achieved through a higher level of integration. Therefore, the requirements for accuracy will be higher and higher, and Wafer Probe Station will also usher in new opportunities and challenges.

Thermal chucks installation
Thermal chucks (also known as hot chucks) are primarily used on probe systems (manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic) to heat or cool semiconductor wafers. When integrated with the probe system, special attention needs to be paid to the installation of the thermal chuck. Additional cables and hoses used to heat and cool the thermal chuck create additional resistance on the wafer table, which can affect movement and specifications (accuracy, repeatability, and resolution). It needs to be improved in technology to result in better test equipment.

High performance and large range in downstream application
Wafer Probe Station has a wide range of downstream applications, not only for the detection of Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT), but also for academic research in electronics and materials science. Great convenience.
The semi-automatic and fully automated system uses an electric table and machine vision to automate the movement of the mold to the mold, thereby increasing the productivity of the probe station and reducing the labor required to perform multiple tests. To some extent, it saves operating costs.
