With the shift in interest to smaller and smaller structural details, elecron microscopy and atomic force microscopy are becoming more and more important. The electron and scanning probe microscopes market typically services the semiconductors and data storage industry, which in 2008 was worth approximately US$178billion. The market for electron and scanning probe microscopes for the semiconductors and date storage market was US$856.8 million in 2008, growing to US$1361 million by 2015. Market drivers include increasing yields, increased demand for more sophisticated failure analysis techniques, increases in the complexity and performance level of devices used in electronic products, reduction of manufacturing costs, increased resolution, increasing device complexity and shrinking geometries.
