Analysis of market driving factors
1. Technology node shrinkage and process upgrade
Demand background: As chip manufacturing processes advance to 3nm and below, traditional photoresist masks are difficult to meet the requirements of line width control (<10nm) and aspect ratio (>50:1).
Technology driver: Hard mask etching systems have become key supporting equipment for extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) and double patterning processes through high selectivity and plasma resistance.
2. Explosion of demand for 5G/AIoT and high-performance computing
Market demand: The demand for high-frequency and low-power chips in scenarios such as 5G base stations, AI accelerators, and autonomous driving has surged. Process requirements: Copper interconnect layer: Hard mask ensures the layout accuracy of copper wires and reduces resistance and signal delay. Low dielectric constant (Low-K) materials: Hard mask protects porous ultra-low K dielectrics from plasma damage.
3. Policy support and accelerated domestic substitution
Global policy: US CHIPS Act: Invest $52 billion to support local semiconductor manufacturing, including hard mask material research and development. EU Chip Act: The goal is to increase the share of European chip production capacity to 20% by 2030. China's domestic substitution: policy-driven: The second phase of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (Big Fund) focuses on supporting the localization of etching equipment.
4. Expansion of emerging application fields
Advanced packaging:
TSV (Through Silicon Via): Hard masks are used for high-density vertical interconnection to increase the communication bandwidth between chips.
Fan-Out packaging: Hard masks enable high-precision redistribution layer (RDL) etching.
Third-generation semiconductors:
SiC/GaN devices: Hard masks solve the problem of hard material etching and improve device withstand voltage and switching speed.
5. Industry chain integration and cost optimization
Vertical integration: Leading companies (such as Lam Research) cover the entire process from hard mask material development to etching equipment manufacturing, shortening the R&D cycle.
Cost reduction: Optimize etching parameters (such as power, pressure, gas flow) through AI, reduce consumables consumption, and reduce the cost of single wafers.
3. Market trends and prospects
Technical direction:
High-K hard mask: using materials such as HfO₂ to further reduce thickness to <10nm.
Self-assembled hard mask: using block copolymers to achieve line width control below 5nm.
AI-driven process: optimizing etching uniformity through machine learning and improving yield to more than 99%.
As the core equipment of semiconductor manufacturing, the market demand for metal and hard mask etching systems is jointly driven by the shrinking of technology nodes, the outbreak of 5G/AIoT, policy support and the expansion of emerging application fields. In the future, with the deep integration of industrial chain integration and AI technology, this field will develop in the direction of higher precision, lower cost and more intelligence, providing key support for the upgrading of the global semiconductor industry.
