Increasing Application Content Driven by Digitization, Electrification, AI, and Sustainability to Catalyze Demand for ATE in Both Leading edge and Mature Process Nodes
Most production organizations once viewed test systems as non-productive assets. If not for the need for quality, verification, and validation, test system manufacturers may not have been as successful as they are. The semiconductor ATE market emerged because of the increasing need for safe and reliable products that comply with regulations and standards. Test equipment is emerging as a critical data source to pinpoint failures and enable swift corrective/predictive actions from design to manufacturing.
In today’s world, semiconductor test systems are no longer just for quality assurance. With the right investments, test solutions can become a strategic asset that helps reduce costs and time-to-market at various stages of the semiconductor value chain. This is primarily due to the impact of mega trends such as electrification, digitization, sustainability, and the emergence of AI, which increases dependence on semiconductors and the performance expectation of ICs. Yet semiconductor design engineers are challenged to pack more performance with low power in a small area. Therefore, the shrinkage of transistor size continues to progress beyond the sub-5nm nodes, with companies including Intel, Samsung, TSMC, and imec announcing their technology roadmap for the next 10 years. As the fundamental demand for semiconductor ATE becomes stronger, ATE OEMs must remain on top of technology advancements and unit volume demand to position new products and deliver the equipment on time.
