Photomask Market

 According to a new report from Intel Market Research, the global Photomask market was valued at US$ 6,050.32 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 8,228.83 million by 2030, growing at a steady CAGR of 4.52% during the forecast period (2024-2030). The demand for photomasks continues to surge, driven by rapid advancements in semiconductor technology, the proliferation of IoT devices, and increasing adoption of 5G networks worldwide.

What is a Photomask?

Photomasks, also known as photolithography masks or reticles, are high-precision quartz or glass plates coated with a light-sensitive material patterned with intricate circuit designs. These components serve as master templates in semiconductor manufacturing, transferring complex microcircuit patterns onto silicon wafers through photolithography processes.

The technology enables the production of increasingly sophisticated integrated circuits (ICs) with nanometer-scale precision. As chip designs grow more complex, photomasks have evolved from simple binary patterns to advanced phase-shifting and optical proximity correction masks that push the boundaries of Moore's Law.
