Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’ s team said: “Emergence of new testing
technologies will be a key trend for market growth. The test equipment industry is seeing the
emergence of new technologies to meet the growing demand for compact and efficient semiconductor
test equipment. This is helping the test equipment vendors to strengthen their offerings. Self-test
technologies are being designed into circuits so as to simplify the testing procedures. The introduction of
TSV technology is also demanding new testing technologies to ensure the reliability of semiconductors.”
According to the report, miniaturization of electronic devices will be a key driver for market growth. The
demand for compact electronics has been aggregating in almost every sector, be it communication
device, automotive, industrial manufacturing, or healthcare equipment. This trend has forced the
semiconductor IC manufacturers to spend on R&D in order to reduce the size and increase the
performance of ICs, which has led to the emergence of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and 3D
stacked ICs based on TSVs in which the interconnections, or vias, penetrate the silicon wafer to achieve
higher vias density. Due to the introduction of such advanced manufacturing processes, the number of
transistors per IC has increased without occupying any extra space, which leads to physical access
limitations and increased circuit design complexity. Testing of such type of ICs has become a major
challenge and has created a demand for advanced probe cards.
Further, the report states that continual price pressure on vendors will be a challenge for the market.
Irrespective of the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, there is always a price pressure on
semiconductor manufacturers due to which vendors of test equipment have to reduce their market
price.As the competition in the consumer electronics market increases, the prices of these goods are
driven down, which creates a significant price pressure on the semiconductor test equipment vendors.
Semiconductor device manufacturers, who are the customers of the test equipment vendors, gain less
profits with the declining prices of electronic goods. This, in turn, leads to low capital expenditure
spending by them. This results in low demand for new test equipment such as probe cards and affects
the financial conditions and results of operations of the market vendors.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information
including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and
vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

About Probe Cards
Test equipment is part of assembly line testing of semiconductor devices that saves manual effort and
time of a semiconductor manufacturing process while ensuring the quality of these devices. The size of
such test equipment can range from small computer-driven dedicated fixed purpose testers to large
programmable machines. The cost of the equipment also varies accordingly. Probe cards are test
equipment devices that are used by semiconductor device manufacturers to perform wafer test or
wafer sort. Probe cards are used to test the semiconductor die or chips while the die is still constituted
on the semiconductor wafer.
Technavio’ s analysts forecast the global probe card market to grow at a CAGR of 4.38% during the
period 2016-2020.
