WAT is a series of tests performed at the final stage of wafer manufacturing to evaluate its electrical parameters by measuring specific test structures on the wafer. These test structures are not used for actual chip functions, but are specially designed to detect and monitor various aspects of the manufacturing process. Typically, these tests are performed after the wafer manufacturing process is completed and before the final chip packaging and quality inspection. In 2024, the global production of WAT testing equipment was 908 units, with an average price of USD 671,000 per unit.

Wafer Acceptance Test (WAT) systems are critical tools used in front-end semiconductor manufacturing to monitor key process parameters and ensure electrical performance consistency across wafers. With the advancement of semiconductor nodes and the growing complexity of device architectures, the demand for higher precision, faster testing speeds, and larger data throughput has intensified, driving continuous evolution in WAT tester technology.

Keysight Technologies remains the global leader in WAT testers, enjoying a de facto monopoly in the market. Its systems are widely adopted by major foundries due to their superior performance, reliability, and integration capabilities. In contrast, Chinese vendors like Semitronix (Guangliwei) and Semight Instruments (Lianxun) have only recently entered the WAT tester space. Semitronix began shipping a small number of systems post-2018, with pricing ranging from RMB 3.5 million to 5 million per unit, mainly targeting domestic second-tier fabs and research institutions. Semight remains in the early stages of market entry.

Looking forward, the WAT tester market is expected to evolve toward higher resolution, faster throughput, AI-enhanced analytics, and modular system design. Demand will grow not only in leading-edge nodes (7nm and below) but also in specialty segments like power devices and MEMS. Domestic Chinese players are gaining momentum, supported by national policy and increasing capital investment. While local equipment still lags behind Keysight in terms of performance and reliability, sustained efforts in R&D and field validation may enable gradual market penetration, particularly in less mission-critical applications.
