VLSI’s take on 2014 market shares All
etch segments had strong demand throughout 2014. TEL gained share in silicon
etch and in wet processing. Overall wet processing equipment demand was weak
— only 5% growth in 2014. SCREEN experienced weak demand from foundries. Overall
CVD grew 30% in 2014. CVD shares were stable. AMAT continues its solid
leadership. All suppliers had healthy growth. Strong growth continues in ALD.
ASM has commanding lead in ALD. Overall ALD Demand grew almost 30%. KLA-Tencor
is holding steady in wafer inspection. KLA’s share steady around 50%. Hitachi
High Technologies was driven by single customer Assembly
Equipment Market Share Highlights: •
Strong Year for Assembly Equipment
Suppliers •
BE Semiconductor had stellar 2014
Assembly market share summary Broad
expansion in IC packaging capacity resulted in almost a 30% increase in
assembly equipment sales. There are still multiple suppliers in most segments.
Top 11 suppliers hold over 70% of Assembly Equipment sales. BE Semiconductor
had a stellar 2014. BE Semiconductor’s strategy at advanced manufacturing is
paying off with two point share gain. Share shift is driven by aggressive
mobile ramp in 2H 2014. ASMPT continues to maintain strong presence in China
HB-LED, Discrete, and Power Device manufacturing. Test
Equipment Market Share Highlights: •
Strong Test Recovery in 2014 •
Teradyne shows gain in both SOC
and Memory •
Test market share summary Broad
ATE recovery resulted in more than 20% sales growth. Teradyne reached over a
50% share in SOC Test. Teradyne benefited from a broad IC recovery as well as
strong position in mobile device test. Memory and SOC Test are divided
between Advantest and Teradyne. Top 3 suppliers have over 80% share of all
