Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Focused Ion Beam Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2021" report to their offering.
Focused ion beam systems have been used extensively for more than two decades, most significantly in the semiconductor industry and also in various biomaterials and material science fields. Focused ion beam set up is a scientific instrument which resembles a scanning electron microscope or SEM. FIB systems coupled with SEM are used commonly to prepare samples for transmission electron microscope or TEM. The global focused ion beam market has been segmented on the basis of ion sources, applications and geography.
The factors which are primarily driving the growth of global Focused ion beam market are increasing application of focused ion beam systems in material science and increase in demand for failure analysis equipment. FIB systems are being commonly found in a broad range of applications in the material science laboratories including specimen preparation and generation of 3D visualization, circuit editing, microstructural analysis and prototype nanomachining.
This equipment is used in order to detect the primary cause of failure and prevent its reoccurrence. In addition, increase in demand for ion lithography is playing a significant role in the growth of the global focused ion beam market. Focused ion beams used in lithography offer higher resolution patterning in comparison to X-ray, UV or electron beam lithography. The conjoint effect of all these drivers and trends is therefore set to bolster the growth of the global focused ion beam market during the forecast period from 2015-2021.
