Probe Cards Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS), Vertical, Cantilever, Blade, Others), By Application (DRAM, Flash, Foundry & logic, Parametric, Others (RF / MMW / Radar Calibration Tools)) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
A Probe card is a medium between an electronic test system and a semiconductor wafer used to check the quality of integrated circuits or large-scale integration during semi-conductors manufacturing. Probe card performs a function to serve an electrical path between the test system and the circuits on the wafer, wherein the circuits can be tested and validated. The demand for probe cards is set to continue its robust growth in the forecasted period with the increasing application of semi-conductors across end-users mainly electronic and manufacturing. The application of semiconductors is widening in manufacturing facilities to cope up with the demand for integrated circuits used in the growing number of electronic devices. Owing to this, manufacturers are focusing on increasing their production capabilities by setting up new production facilities. For instance, in 2017, Technoprobe built a new factory in Italy to support the increasing demand for high-end probe cards.
