Global Silicon-on-Insulator Market: New research report available at Fast Market Research

Jan. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- SOI wafers are gaining high popularity in the semiconductor industry due to their benefits of low power consumption and junction capacitance. SOI wafers hold the potential to replace bulk silicon wafers in semiconductor applications. The market for SOI devices and components is thus expected to show double-digit growth in the next five years. Existing studies and third-party market reports do not provide a comprehensive understanding of the SOI market and there is a lack of focus on its various applications. In contrast, this report sizes and analyzes the global SOI market by applications and by geography, which no other third-party report has done so far. The report also identifies and analyzes the market trends and growth opportunities for industry stakeholders.

Market Estimates and Forecasts

The report analyzes the global SOI market by types into two major submarkets:

* Thick-film SOI wafer market
* Thin-film SOI wafer market

The market data consists of aggregate sales figures for both thick-film and thin-film SOI wafer markets. The report sources key market developments from the top companies that it profiles. The report also identifies and analyzes the market drivers, trends, and opportunities in the global SOI market, along with the market's top-selling products, key players, and competitive outlook. In addition, the report also provides more than 20 company profiles for the market.
