Silicon on Insulator Market by Wafer Size (200 mm, 300 mm), Wafer Type (RFSOI, FDSOI), Technology (BESOI, ELTRAN, SoS, SiMOX, Smart Cut), Product, Application (Automotive, Computing & Mobile, Entertainment & Gaming, Photonics) - Global Forecast to 2022
The SOI market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 29.1% between 2017 and 2022, to reach USD 1,859.3 million by 2022. The key driving factors for the growth of the SOI market are the growth in the consumer electronics market, low wafer and gate cost, low operating voltage, and miniaturization of semiconductor devices. However, the major restraints for the growth of this market are the lack of available IP ecosystem and the floating body effect.
“200 mm SOI wafers expected to be the largest SOI wafer segment in 2017”
200 mm is currently the most popular SOI wafer size in the market. 200 mm is the diameter of the SOI wafer. Currently, virtually all the RF chips, including 2G, 3G, and 4G, are manufactured by using 200 mm SOI wafers. In other words, almost all the smartphones make use of 200 mm SOI wafers. Soitec (France) is a leading player in the 200 mm market and holds more than 50% of the market share. Soitec has developed the smart cut technology, which is the major technology for manufacturing 200 mm SOI wafers.
“Smart cut technology expected to hold the largest share of the overall SOI market during the forecast period”
The smart cut technology is expected to hold the largest share of the overall SOI market between 2017 and 2022. Smart cut is Soitec’s proprietary wafer bonding and layer splitting technology. Soitec (France) developed the smart cut technology in collaboration with CEA-Leti (microelectronics research lab). This technology involves the implantation of light ions and wafer bonding for transferring ultrathin single-crystal layer from one substrate to another.
“APAC expected to be the fastest-growing region in the SOI market during the forecast period”
The SOI market in APAC is expected to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2022. The high demand for smartphones and other consumer electronics devices is one of the major factors contributing to this high growth rate. In addition, the increasing popularity of 4G/LTE services and the future implementation of 5G architecture are helping the SOI market grow in this region. For example, China is expected to be the first country in the world to roll out 5G services by 2020.

The SOI technology effectively address a major concern involved in designing semiconductor devices, that is, to reduce power consumption. It is a technology offering the benefits of high performance, low parasitic junction capacitance, better temperature sensitivity, and reduction in leakage. The SOI technology is robust and can sustain in a high temperature environment. This facilitates their use in extreme environment applications such as automobiles. The low power consumption feature makes it highly useful for use in consumer electronics such as computers, video games, and mobile phones. Increasing consumer awareness and reducing wafer costs are further fuelling the market growth.
Developments in semiconductor devices have necessitated greater performance from silicon-substrate semiconductors. This has led to the development of the Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology, which improves semiconductor performance by reducing capacitance between different layers. While the SOI market is expected to show huge growth due to the increasing demand for semiconductors, there is still a considerable scope for development as SOI is still new compared to the silicon substrate semiconductor technology.
The market for SOI devices and components is expected to show tremendous growth in the next five years. The SOI technology is gaining high popularity in the semiconductor industry due to their benefits of low power consumption and junction capacitance. The SOI market is increasing due to the growth in markets such as consumer electronics and gaming, which make use of SOI. The adoption of SOI in various applications can be increased by increasing the awareness of this technology. Geographically, the Asia- Pacific market is expected to have the maximum potential for growth. China, Japan, and India have a huge demand for consumer electronics and in turn drive the SOI market. Europe leads the market for SOI technology.
The major players in the SOI market are Soitec SA (France), Applied Materials Inc. (U.S.), ARM Holdings (U.K.), Cadence Design Systems (U.S.), Elmos Semiconductor AG (Germany), Freescale Semiconductor (U.S.), IBM Corporation (U.S.), STMicroelectronics (Switzerland), and others.
