Nanopositioning Piezo Actuator Market: Introduction
- Nanopositioning piezo actuator is used in applications demanding the highest control requirements such as micro and nano-positioning, which uses the advantage of piezo-driven mechanical flexures to realize highly precise positioning tasks.
- It offers a wide range of features such as high resolution; highly dynamic because of the small mass to driving force ratio; friction free & vibration free motion; and suitable for vacuum & high temperature
- These features make the nanopositioning piezo actuator highly significant for metrology, microscopy, and spectroscopy, which in turn is expected to contribute to market growth.
Rise in Adoption from Electronics & Semiconductors Industry
- Based on the end-use industry, the global nanopositioning piezo actuator market can be segmented into aerospace & defense, electronics & semiconductors, healthcare & life science, research & academia, food & beverage automotive and others (oil & gas, power & utility, energy, etc.) The electronics & semiconductors segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to the increasing use of nanopositioning piezo actuator for wafer inspection system and semiconductor manufacturing. There is need of technologies for bigger substrates in production processes such as stealth dicing, lithography, doping, implanting, and planarization that makes precise positioning. Manufactures are providing system for wafers up to 12 inches to hold and repeat the positioning with same precision in order to cater to this need.
- Nanopositioning piezo actuator is primarily used in semiconductor and solar producing lithography, display production, surface structuring, surface inspection, measurement chips, measurement of conductor tracks, measurement systems, quality control, and bonding-technology. This factor is significantly driving the demand for nanopositioning piezo actuator in the electronics & semiconductors segment.
- Rising adoption of nanopositioning piezo actuator for optical inter-satellite communication by offering benefits such as being radiation resistant, resilient to electromagnetic fields while not producing any of their own, is further propelling the market
