“Advancements in semiconductor technology and increasing demand across various industries”
- The adoption of Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FD-SOI) technology is prominent in North America, offering advantages like low power consumption and enhanced performance, making it suitable for applications in consumer electronics and automotive industries. Smart Cut™ technology, pioneered by Soitec, plays a crucial role in producing high-quality, ultra-thin SOI wafers, further advancing the market.
- The automotive sector, particularly electric and autonomous vehicles, is also fueling demand for SOI-based solutions. Moreover, EU initiatives supporting semiconductor sovereignty are catalyzing regional production and innovation.
- North America’s growing focus on semiconductor R&D, combined with emerging applications in quantum and photonic computing, presents strong growth opportunities for the SOI market across the region.
- The proliferation of autonomous and electric vehicles has further boosted the demand for SOI-based sensors and power management chips, as automakers seek high-performance, thermally efficient solutions.
- The rise in adoption of SOI wafers in advanced microprocessors and RF (radio frequency) applications is further fueling market growth, as these wafers offer superior speed, reduced power consumption, and enhanced performance.
