Ion Milling System Segment Insights
Based on product types, the market can be fragmented into cross-section milling and flat surface milling. The cross section milling segment is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Ion milling systems are widely used as instruments for preparing cross-section samples for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), having applications in materials science and semiconductor materials.
In general, cross-section milling systems are used for samples that are difficult to mechanically polish, such as bulk samples or samples with multilayer structures. As a result, the rising use of cross-section milling systems in various applications around the world is expected to provide opportunities for ion milling system providers during the forecast period.
Focused Ion Bin (FIB) segment to expand at a significant CAGR
On the basis of electron microscopy types, the market can be divided into scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and focused ion beam (FIB). The FIB segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The market for ion millings systems is expected to be dominated by FIB electron microscopy.
FIB is a rigorous and efficient technique, which is appropriate for quality inspection. It has contributed to the emergence of developments in ion microscope technologies and the development of high-resolution liquid metal ion sources. The growing use of FIB in nanotechnology and structural biology is expected to drive the focused ion beam (FIB) market in the near future.
Ceramics segment to account a large market share
In terms of sample materials, the market can be segregated into ceramics, polymers, composites, metals, and other materials. The ceramics segment is expected to capture a considerably large market share during the forecast period. Ceramics are nonmetallic inorganic solids produced by heating powder or slurry.
As ceramic samples are typically brittle, mechanically thinned to a low beginning thickness for ion milling is extremely challenging. Ion milling of insulators frequently results in static charge of the sample's surface, which decreases the sputter rate.
Semiconductor manufacturing segment to constitute a large market share
Based on applications, the market can be divided into semiconductor manufacturing, geological institutes, forensic laboratories, medical research institutes, food analysis, and others. The semiconductor manufacturing segment is anticipated to hold a major market share during the forecast period. Methods used in semiconductor manufacturing include oxidation, lithography, etching, doping, and layering.
Metrology and inspection are vital for semiconductor manufacturing process control. TEM is a key technology used in semiconductor fabrication. It is estimated to play an important role in the future development of this sector due to its high-resolution analytical capabilities.
The market in North America is expected to healthy rate
On the basis of regions, the market can be classified as North America, Europe, Latin America, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific. North America is projected to grow at a significant rate of growth during the forecast period. Increased demand for ion milling systems in North America provides a significant opportunity for nanomechanical testing in industries such as health sciences, semiconductor, and material research. Companies in North America are prominent adopter of ion milling systems used in testing, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years.
