AbstractThis Frost & Sullivan research service titled World Wafers markets provides forecast by wafer diameter, wafer type, geography, and analysis of the market drivers, restraints and challenges faced by the industry. In this study, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: silicon wafers, SOI wafers, germanium (Ge) wafers, and compound semiconductor wafers.
Market Overview
Widespread Use of Electronic Products to Drive the World Wafers Markets
Consumer electronic products are increasingly incorporating silicon-, silicon on insulator (SOI)-, and compound semiconductor-based devices in them, which in turn, contributes to the revenue growth of the world wafers markets. "A key trend in this market is the expansion instigated by solar application," according to the analyst of the study. "Right now, in terms of revenues, the contribution of solar application is very less but, in terms of growth, it has very high potential."
The Asia Pacific region, especially China, is anticipated to posses the potential to become the major mass producer of silicon wafers and chips. Other regions such as North America, Japan, and Europe are expected to witness huge competition from Asia Pacific region during the forecast and beyond.
Shrinking Processes Lead to Change in Wafer Diameter Size
The move toward larger wafer diameter has been a major trend in the world wafers markets. This is mainly because of the shrinking process geometries and complex technical specifications given by the device manufacturers. As a result, a lot of semiconductor device manufacturers are adopting larger wafer diameters such as 200 mm and 300 mm. Therefore, these large diameter wafers are expected to witness high growth during the forecast period. The 200 mm and 300 mm silicon wafers contributed revenue shares of 37.8 and 15 percent, respectively to the total silicon wafer market in 2006.
The increasing consumer interest toward latest generation of game consoles is instigating the sales of these products. "The microprocessors that are incorporated in gaming devices such as PS3 and Xbox360 use the SOI wafer technology," explains the analyst. "These are utilized mainly due to the high efficiency offering of SOI technology for such advanced high performance gaming applications."
