The Type segmentation classifies machines by scribing technology, principally laser‑based and mechanical blade systems. Laser‑based units, which comprise the majority of installations, are further divided into ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) lasers, each offering varying photon energies that affect material removal rates and edge quality. UV lasers, with the highest photon energy, are favored for sub‑10 µm line widths, supporting advanced logic and memory nodes. Visible and IR lasers serve broader wafer thicknesses and cost‑sensitive segments, such as power devices. Mechanical blade scribing, though less prevalent (approximately 20 % of the market), persists in niche applications where ultra‑low cost and simplicity outweigh the precision advantages of lasers. The type distribution influences capital expenditure patterns, maintenance cycles, and supplier ecosystems, thereby shaping the overall market dynamics and forecasting models.
