The main market drivers include the following:
1. Growing demand in the semiconductor industry
Expanding downstream applications
5G and AI-driven: Surges in demand for high-performance semiconductors in areas such as 5G base stations, AI chips, and automotive electronics are driving production growth for chips with process technology of 28nm and above.
Advanced process upgrades: Processes below 28nm (such as 7nm and 5nm) require mask substrates with precision down to the nanometer level, with synthetic quartz substrates becoming the preferred choice due to their high transmittance and low thermal expansion coefficient.
Accelerated domestic substitution: Domestic companies (such as Philihua and Luwei Optoelectronics) have broken through technological barriers, increasing the domestic production rate from less than 10% in 2018 to 30% in 2025, and projected to exceed 50% in 2027.
Independent third-party mask manufacturers are expanding their market share, and wafer fabs are increasing the proportion of outsourced manufacturing for mature processes (above 28nm) to 47.3%. 2. Display Panel Industry Upgrade
2.Large-Screen Trend
High-Generation Line Construction: The increase in panel production lines for Generation 8.6 and above (such as Generation 10.5) is driving demand for large photomask substrates, with substrate sizes expanding from 1m×1m for Generation 5 to 3m×3m for Generation 11.
Technological Iteration: New display technologies such as AMOLED/LTPO/LTPS require submicron precision for mask substrates, driving demand for high-end substrates.
3. Technological Advancement and Material Innovation
Advantages of Synthetic Quartz Substrates
Excellent Performance: High purity (impurity content <10ppb), low thermal expansion coefficient (<0.1ppm/°C), and transmittance (>90% at 200nm wavelength), making them suitable for DUV/EUV lithography.
Process Breakthrough: Domestic companies have reduced defect density from 15 defects per square inch to 5 defects per square inch, meeting the entry standard for Generation 5 lines. Coating Process Improvements
Molybdenum-silicon binary light shielding layer (OMOG): Shin-Etsu Chemical has developed an alternative to the traditional chromium layer, improving stability and etching performance, driving demand for high-end substrates.
EUV Technology Adaptation: Reflective mask substrates (such as those patented by Ken Kinoshita) are adapted for extreme ultraviolet lithography, becoming a key material for processes below 7nm.
4. Policy Support and Industry Chain Collaboration
National Policy Promotion
Localization Target: "Made in China 2025" and other policies clearly define increasing the localization rate of semiconductor materials, with a target of 50% by 2025.
Financial Support: Jiaxing Lien Semiconductor invested 3 billion yuan in the project, establishing a complete supply chain for photomask materials.
Industry Chain Integration
Vertical Integration: Luwei Optoelectronics has established full-generation mask production capacity from G2.5 to G11, and Philihua has achieved vertical integration from quartz sand to substrates.
Equipment Localization: Xinji Micro-Equipment has delivered 90nm node direct-write lithography equipment, reducing dependence on imported equipment.
5. Changing Market Competition Landscape
Breaking International Monopoly
Dominated by Japanese and Korean companies: Shin-Etsu Chemical and Tosoh Quartz hold a 50% share of the high-end market, but domestic companies are gradually penetrating through technical certifications (e.g., Philihua's Tokyo Electron certification).
6. Cost and Supply Chain Factors
Raw Material Cost Optimization
Scale-up of synthetic quartz: Philihua's G8.5-generation substrate mass production has reduced unit costs, driving down prices for high-end substrates.
Equipment Localization: Domestic photolithography equipment (e.g., Corebase Micro-Equipment's 90nm equipment) offers significant price advantages, improving mask substrate production efficiency.
The core drivers of the photomask substrate market include: escalating demand from the semiconductor and display panel industries, technological breakthroughs in high-end materials such as synthetic quartz, localization policies and industry chain integration, and technological adaptation to emerging applications such as 5G/AI. In the future, with the widespread adoption of EUV technology and the improvement of domestic companies' technological capabilities, the market will exhibit a parallel trend of high-end production, localization, and scale.
