EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET LITHOGRAPHY (EUL) MARKET OVERVIEW

The global extreme ultraviolet lithography (eul) market size was USD 9.03 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 54.07 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 22% during the forecast period.

Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUL) is an optical lithography technology. It is primarily used in steppers and ICs which produce integrated circuits for various electronic devices, specifically computers. They produce a pattern using extreme Ultraviolet wavelengths.

These wavelengths approximately span up to 2% bandwidth. The lithography technology is used in the device fabrication process of semiconductors. The demand for this product has also seen a spike recently.

Another notable innovation in the market is the ability of this technology to spot even the finest details on the most advanced microchips. This can be identified as the latest trend in the market.

The global Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUL) technology mainly integrates very efficient microchips called the mass-producing leading-edge microchips. This technology is considered as one of the leading technologies of the future generation. It is characterized with features such as superior pattern fidelity, wider process windows, and many more. A lot of factors have contributed in the growth of this technology.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Reduced Production of Semiconductors Decreased the Market Growth

The pandemic of COVID-19 affected the global economy. A lot of industries were shut down due to the prevailing lockdowns and strict social distancing norms.  Global Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUL) is used in the semi-conductor industry especially during the process of device fabrication. 

The operations of the semiconductor market temporarily stopped during the pandemic because the availability of skilled workers declined. The required resources were scare, and the equilibrium in the supply chain was not maintained. With a decline in the semiconductor industry the global Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUL) market share also fell. However, owing to the demand in the internet of things the market observed a steady increase after the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Ability to Spot the Finest Details to Increase the Market Growth

Global Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUL) technology is of the most advanced technological developments in the recent time. This has a bandwidth of about 13.5 nanometer which helps in creating a pattern of exposing reflective photomask to Ultraviolet light.

This light gets reflected on the surface of a substrate. The substrate is covered up by a photoresist.  Another notable innovation in the market is the ability of this technology to spot even the finest details on the most advanced microchips. This can be considered the new trend in the market.
