Silicon on Insulator Market Analysis

Wafer Type (RF-SOI, FD-SOI, PD-SOI)

The FD-SOI segment in the silicon on insulator market is anticipated to hold a share of 39.5% by the end of 2036. Due to features like high flexibility, simple implementation, low cost, decreased complexity, lower leak currents, and the capacity to optimize power/performance trade-offs, the market is expanding. Also, to expand their product offerings and meet the rising demand for FD-SOI wafers, a number of FD-SOI wafer producers are concentrating on product launches and partnerships with other companies in the silicon-on-insulator market. For instance, Google and Skywater Technology, a US foundry, extended their open-source chip development work to a 90 nm FD-SOI technology in August 2022.

Application (Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Datacom & Telecom, Industrial, Photonics)

Silicon on insulator market from the consumer electronics segment is expected to hold a share of 31.2% during the forecast period. The size, power consumption, operational speed, and battery life of consumer devices like smartphones, tablets, wearables, laptops, cable modems, and televisions have all been decreased due to the adoption of SOI-based wafers. Additionally, these wafers have improved performance and are less temperature-sensitive. As a result, SOI is growing in demand in consumer electronics.
