RET is a new requirement that has emerged in the last decade as the line-width critical dimension has
become
smaller
than
the
light
source
wavelength
–
this
has
increased
reticle
design
challenges
considerably
and
has
rapidly
driven
RET
from
a
nascent
market
to
$170MM
in
the
past
decade
Mentor has captured a #1 market share in RET and has maintained 40%+ share since 2003
—
RET year-to-year results can fluctuate significantly as tools are purchased by a limited number of advanced IC
companies in large volumes driven by node shifts and fab expansions
