Lithography machine is the key equipment for making high precision mask plate. Using a very fine laser beam, the highly precise line pattern is drawn on the mask substrate under the control of an extremely precise automatic control system.
 
Laser direct writing is to use a laser beam with variable intensity to implement variable dose exposure on the resist material (photoresist) on the substrate surface, and form the required relief contour on the resist surface after development. The basic working principle of the laser direct writing lithography system is that the computer controls the high-precision laser beam scanning, and the design of any pattern is directly exposed on the photoresist, so that the design pattern is directly transferred to the mask.
Laser direct write lithography machine is a kind of instrument used in the fields of physics, information science and system science, materials science and mechanical engineering. The device is a direct write lithography device based on space light modulator, which is used to make lithography mask.
 
The chrome glass mask plates used in the traditional lithography process need to be provided by a professional supplier, but in the development environment, the mask plate design often needs to change. Maskless lithography overcomes this problem by designing electronic mask plates with software. Different from the traditional process of lighting through a physical mask plate, laser direct writing is a series of laser pulses controlled by a computer switch, directly exposed on the photoresist to draw the desired pattern.
 
The global laser direct writing lithography equipment market size reached $113.42 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $160.25 million in 2029, with a compound growth rate (CAGR) of 5.21% from 2023 to 2029.
 
At the regional level, the Chinese market has changed rapidly in the past few years, the market size in 2022 is 17.32 million US dollars, accounting for about 15.27% of the global market, is expected to grow faster in the next few years, is expected to reach 28.68 million US dollars in 2029, 2023-2029 compound growth rate (CAGR) of 7.91%, By then, the global share will reach 17.89%.
 
From the perspective of product type and technology, 2D system sales in 2022 accounted for 92.14% of the proportion, with sales of 213 units in 2022 and 328 units expected in 2029. 3D systems are expected to grow faster, with 18 3D systems sold in 2022 and 35 units expected in 2029. In terms of market size, the global market size of 2D systems in 2022 will be $101.20 million, and the global market size of 3D systems will be $12.22 million. In terms of price, the average price of 2D system sales in 2022 is 475 thousand US dollars per unit, the average price of 3D system sales is 673 thousand US dollars per unit, and the average price of laser direct writing lithography equipment in 2022 is 491 thousand US dollars per unit. It is expected that the price of laser direct writing lithography equipment will show a downward trend in the future, and the unit price of 2D system is expected to be 423 thousand US dollars per unit in 2029, and the unit price of 3D system is 621 thousand US dollars per unit, and the price of two types of laser direct writing lithography equipment has declined, but the price of 3D system has decreased slightly.
 
From the perspective of product market application, the sales revenue of laser direct writing lithography equipment for mask plate manufacturing in 2022 is 35.25 million US dollars, accounting for the highest proportion, followed by IC packaging, FPD manufacturing, MEMS and other applications, respectively, 28.41, 25.84, 6.99 and 16.93 million US dollars. These applications are expected to generate $39.89, $35.61, $9.84 and $24.45 million in sales revenue in 2029, with MEMS and other applications (such as biomedical, micromanufacturing, etc.) growing faster at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.53% and 5.49%, respectively.
 
Major global manufacturers include Heidelberg Instruments, Raith (4PICO Litho), Mycronic, Ushio Inc. And SCREEN Holdings, the top five manufacturers in 2022 sales revenue of 65.12 million US dollars, the share of 57.41%, is expected in the next few years industry competition will be more intense, especially in the Chinese market. Overall, the industry is a typical technology-intensive industry, with large capital investment, long research and development cycle, and scarce talents. From the development of the industry, the current trend of laser direct writing lithography equipment is good, and the replacement of mask lithography equipment has large advantages, and the market space is large. At the country level, Europe, Japan and China are the main producers. From the development of China's laser direct writing lithography equipment manufacturers, technology accumulation, talent reserve, customer resources accumulation, sales channel expansion and their own publicity are important factors affecting the development of enterprises, in addition, enterprises also need to have a full understanding of the upstream and downstream market status quo, such as downstream semiconductor, PCB and other industries climate change and other factors. Will be an important factor affecting corporate revenue and profits.
