30 May 2019 - Global Silicon On
Insulator (SOI) Market is
anticipated to witness an exponential growth in the forecast period. Silicon on
insulator (SOI) technology implies a layered form of the substrate that has
silicon-insulator-silicon as its layers as a substitute of conventional silicon
substrates in the semiconductor industry, particularly microelectronics, to
improve performance.
Factors
such as surge in use of SOI wafers in advanced devices such as tablets,
smartphones, wearables, and earphones/headphones. Furthermore, while
manufacturing thin wafers, the use of SOI technology stops the wastage of
silicon, which decreases the price of semiconductor devices. Hence, the real
use of silicon during the manufacture of thin SOI wafers are likely to drive
the silicon on insulator (SOI) market in the forthcoming period.
On
the other hand, volatility of raw material prices, time-consuming manufacturing
process, and complex product growth procedure are anticipated to hinder market
growth in the future. However, technological advancement is likely to create
lucrative opportunities for the market. Globally, market is anticipated to
expand at a significant CAGR in the upcoming period as the scope, product
types, and its applications are increasing across the globe.
Silicon
on insulator (SOI) market could be explored by wafer size, wafer type, product
type, application, technology, and geography. Market could be explored by wafer
size as 300 mm and 200 mm. The “300-mm wafer” segment accounted for a prominent
share in the market. It is likely to witness substantial growth in the years to
come. The key factors that could be attributed to the growth of the market
include Wafer and foundry companies are increasing their capacity for producing
300-mm wafers.
Based
on wafer type, the silicon on insulator (SOI) market could span RF SOI and
FDSOI. Market could be explored by product type as Optical SOI, SOI Transistor,
MEMS, RF SOI, Image Sensor Markets and Memory Device. The “RF-SOI” segment
accounted for a prominent share in the market. It is likely to witness
substantial growth in the years to come.
The
key applications that could be explored in the market include Automotive,
Consumer Electronics, Datacom and Industrial. The “Consumer Electronics”
segment accounted for a prominent share in the market. It is likely to witness
substantial growth in the years to come. The key factors that could be
attributed to the growth of the market include growing demand for SOI products
in smartphones and other consumer electronics devices. The market could be
explored based on technology as SoS, BESOI, ELTRAN, Smart Cut and SiMOX.
APAC
is a leading region in the market. It is likely to maintain its dominance in
the forecast period owing to factors, such as the presence of a huge number of
consumer electronic corporations, smartphone manufacturers, and progressive ICT
technology providers, and foundry and wafer players in APAC. APAC is followed
by North American and the European region owing to the increasing demand for
SOI is attributed to their application in digital cameras, mobile phones,
notebooks, and other such electronic devices.
Leading
players operating in the silicon on insulator (SOI) market include Freescale
Semiconductor Inc., Applied Materials Inc., ARM Holdings PLC, Global Wafers Co.,
Ltd., GlobalFoundries, Murata Manufacturing, IBM Corporation, Sony Corporation,
and NXP Semiconductors. The leading companies are taking up partnerships,
mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures in order to boost the inorganic
growth of the industry.
