Product Definition:
A silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer is a type of semiconductor wafer that uses an insulator to separate the silicon chip from its surroundings. This helps improve the chip's performance and reliability by reducing electrical interference and heat transfer. SOI wafers are also used in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication.
Thick SOI Wafer:
Thick Silicon on Insulator (TSOI) wafer market is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. TSOI technology provides higher performance and power efficiency in comparison with traditional bulk silicon techniques. The growth of the global semiconductor industry has been fueling the demand for these advanced products, which are used as an essential component in various electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal computers, and laptops among others.
Thin SOI Wafer:
The thin SOI wafer is a single crystal silicon wafer of thickness less than 300 microns. It is used in integrated circuits (IC) manufacturing and also finds application as an electronic component.
Application Insights:
The MEMS application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The rising demand for low-power, high-speed and large area microelectronics is expected to fuel the growth of this segment. SOI technology provides excellent thermal management as well as excellent electrical insulation, which makes it suitable for use in small electronic devices such as smart sensors and digital thermometers.
SOI wafers are used across all major industries including healthcare, consumer electronics, telecommunication & ITOICs etc., owing to their properties such as high purity silicon surface with good adhesion that helps reduce contamination from other materials during device fabrication process. These properties also make them suitable across multiple applications areas where standard silicon wafer cannot be used due to their lower purity grades or because they have too many impurities that may affect device performance adversely.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is estimated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is expected to witness a significant growth owing to increasing demand from end-use industries such as communication, computing, consumer electronics, automotive and others. China SOI wafer market dominated the regional industry with a revenue share of more than 50% in 2017 owing to high product demand from Chinese manufacturers.
The growing adoption of 3D-stacked ICs technology by device manufacturers will drive product demand further driving up industry growth estimates for Asia Pacific region over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronic devices: The miniaturization of electronic devices is one of the key growth drivers for the SOI wafer market. With each new generation of smartphones, tablets and other consumer electronics, there is an increased demand for smaller and more powerful components. SOI wafers are well-suited for use in these applications due to their superior electrical performance and heat dissipation characteristics.
- Rising demand from the semiconductor industry: The semiconductor industry is a key end-user of SOI wafers, with the technology being used in a wide range of products such as microprocessors, memory chips and sensors. As global sales of semiconductors continue to grow, so too will demand for SOI wafers.
- Growing popularity of 3D printing: One potential application area where 3D printing could see significant growth in the coming years is healthcare, where it could be used to produce customized medical implants and prosthetics on-demand. In order to realize this potential however, high quality 3D printing filaments are required – something that can be provided by using an SOI substrate as the foundation material layer instead traditional filaments like PLA or ABS plastic which can warp or deform when printed at high temperatures..
