Direct exposure device market size forecast 2026: Expected to reach 1,462 million USD by 2032.
A direct-write exposure device is a machine that uses controllable energy beams such as lasers or electron beams to directly draw circuits or fine structures on a substrate coated with photoresist. It is suitable for small-batch production, prototyping, and accommodating design changes, as it can form patterns without the need for traditional photomasks. It is used in semiconductor research and development, MEMS, advanced packaging, display masks, microfluidic chips, and optoelectronic devices.

Direct Drawing Exposure Devices: Methods and Applications Direct drawing exposure devices are equipment that directly draw circuits and fine patterns onto photoresist using lasers or electron beams, eliminating the need for photomasks. They can be broadly classified into optical (laser) and charged particle types (electron and ion beams), with electron beam systems being particularly strong in producing IC masks that require precision on the order of about 10nm. Laser systems excel in productivity and are suitable for high-function PCBs, wafer-level packages, FPD masks, low-end IC front-end processes, and copper plating for solar cells. In PCBs, practical applications are advancing in multilayer boards, HDI, flexible substrates, and IC carrier substrates, while in large-scale production for semiconductor front-end processes, resolution and processing capability remain challenges.
