Report Description

The market for wafer mounter equipment has been covered under the scope of this report. Wafer mounting is one of the major steps during wafer fabrication. Wafer mounter equipment in the global market is expected to witness strong growth during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the transition towards 3D IC design structures being one of the key factors, which in turn is anticipated to be a major driving factor for the global wafer mounter equipment market.

Wafer mounting is one of the most important stages during the process of die preparation that is required for various semiconductor device fabrications in which the wafer is prepared for IC testing and IC packaging. The wafer is mounted on a plastic tape that is primarily attached with a ring during the wafer mounting process. The process is performed right before the wafer is cut into different separate dies. The function of the adhesive tape is to keep individual dies firmly in their own place during the process of dicing.

Thus, the importance of wafer mounting technique is inevitable during the process of wafer fabrication. This in turn is anticipated to create huge demand for various types of wafer mounting equipment owing to rising demand for thin and ultrathin wafers from different semiconductor equipment manufacturers in the coming years.
