[191 Pages Report] The Silicon on Insulator Market size was estimated at USD 1.71 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.88 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 10.43% to reach USD 3.43 billion by 2030.
Silicon on insulators (SOI) is a semiconductor manufacturing technology used extensively in microelectronics. SOI technology involves the integration of a layered silicon-insulator-silicon substrate instead of traditional silicon substrates in the manufacturing of semiconductors, enabling the production of high-performance microprocessors, switches, and other electronic components. This technology reduces parasitic device capacitance, enhances performance, and reduces power consumption. Rising demand for power-efficient and high-performance electronics and increasing investments in smart automotive technologies are driving the expansion of silicon in the insulator market. Government support for the technology sector and the advent of 5G technology also significantly contribute to the expansion. The high cost of SOI wafers compared to bulk silicon hinders market growth. Additionally, complexities associated with the manufacturing process, such as the layer transfer technique, challenge the production efficiency and scalability of silicon on insulators. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growing need for high-performance, low-power computing devices have unveiled new opportunities for the SOI market. Furthermore, innovative approaches in semiconductor design, such as chiplet architectures, require advanced substrate technologies, including SOI, for optimal performance and are expected to fuel the market’s growth.
