Factors Affecting the Growth of the Photomask Industry:

• Growing demand for advanced semiconductors:

Rapid evolution in consumer electronics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the internet of things (IoT) has created a demand for small form factor, high-performance chips. While designing these advanced chips in an exacting and efficient manner is possible, it relies heavily on photomasks. Photomasks enable the fabrication of complex patterned circuitry on semiconductor wafers. As semiconductor companies have transitioned to smaller node technologies to optimize out power consumption while increasing processing power, the need for increasingly accurate photomasks is greater than ever. This demand from the consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and data center industries, all industries that rely heavily on high-performance chips and are driving demand for photomasks. To keep up with the direction of where all of this is heading, photomask providers are putting new focus into research and development to create advancements with these companies in mind, in an effort to enhance, but also to improve the resolution and life of the photomasks.

• Technological advancements in lithography techniques:

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is already being used by an increasing number of chipmakers to augment or replace traditional photolithography techniques to be able to draw the finer detailed patterns needed for advanced semiconductors. EUV lithography can pattern down to 7 nm and lower, and is necessary to create the plans and circuitry required density in chips needed in smaller, lighter and faster electronics. EUV lithography began to hit mainstream production in 2020 and now creates a serious demand for photomasks that have new light wavelengths and high energy gains. Likewise, photomask manufacturers must continue to innovate and develop new materials and processes and to evolve their products to fulfill the demands of advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The demands for new photomask technology focused on EUV-compatible photomasks also demonstrate that more advanced lithographic solutions are needed now more than ever.

• Rising adoption of advanced display technologies:

Increasing adoption of sophisticated display technologies for consumer electronics, automotive, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications is helping drive demand for photomasks. For display technologies such as organic light-emitting diode (OLED), active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLED), and mini-light emitting diodes (LED), there are complex semiconductor designs involved, which is motivating manufacturers to use more accurate and complex photomasks as part of their photoprocess. Photomasks enable high-resolution and rich color displays by facilitating the creation of denser and smaller pixel arrays to improve visual quality. Many companies are offering next-generation display feature sets, which is forcing the photomask suppliers to come up with solutions that can keep up with smaller design nodes and advanced color capabilities.
