Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/22/2016 -- Report forecast the global photomask market to grow at a CAGR of 2.37% during the period 2016-2020.

Photomasks are high-purity quartz or glass plates that contain a pattern of ICs. These are used in the reproduction of pattern structures for manufacturing printed circuit boards, electronic circuits, and LCD displays, and for the serial production of reticles and other microstructures.

Photomasks are used at wavelengths of 365 nm, 248 nm, and 193 nm. ICs are manufactured layer by layer, where each layer requires a unique photomask. As current generation ICs typically have 25-60 layers, the manufacturing process of photomasks has become complex. As a result, EUV wavelengths of 13.5 nm are used for complex photomask manufacturing.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global photomask market for the period 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from sales of photomasks.

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- APAC
- Americas
- EMEA

According to the report, one of the major drivers in the global photomask market is the proliferation of wireless communication devices. In recent times, most end-users devices offer multiple connectivity options such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 4G, leading to the wide adoption of wireless computing devices.

Further, the report states that increased market acceptance of alternative methods such as direct-write lithography transfer if IC designs onto semiconductor wafers might challenge the market's growth.
