Global FD-SOI Wafers Market Definition

FD-SOI Wafers or fully depleted silicon-on-insulator wafers refer to the semiconductor wafers made from fully depleted Silicon material. An ultra-thin layer of silicon is used as an insulator in the FD-SOI wafers to reduce leakage and variation in chips. FD-SOI is the best and most efficient alternative for bulky silicon and is used as a substrate in CMOS device manufacturing. FD-SOI technology adopts an extremely thin layer of silicon on the surface of a buried oxide for reducing leakage and boasting a back-bias feature.

FD-SOI in semiconductor wafers offers various lucrative benefits to the end-use industries. FD-SOI wafers offer better device matching as they have a fully depleted channel. FD-SOI wafers help in achieving very low supply voltages due to the body bias and intrinsic low variability. Thus, these offer radiation tolerance as are less sensitive to SER (soft errors rate). FD-SOI wafers possess good analog/RF transistor characteristics to help in superior RF and analog designs. Due to the simple manufacturing process, FD-SOI in semiconductor wafers offers robust power and performance.

Global FD-SOI Wafers Market Overview

Growing demand for FD-SOI in consumer electronic devices driving the growth of the market. The boom in the electronic industry and rising adoption of the major electronic devices are considered the major factors to boost the FD-SOI Wafers market. These wafer types are highly reliable in high-temperature environments. They comprise reduced operating voltages and cost-effectivity that leads to increased demand across the globe. The innovation in silicon process technology that incrementally leverages existing manufacturing approaches is FD-SOI which offers the benefits of reduced silicon geometries while simplifying the manufacturing process. The benefits that FD-SOI brings to the analog and RF designs are impelling a positive outlook on the market growth in the consumer electronics industry. FD-SOI is one of the essential components used in consumer electronic products such as wearable devices, smartphones, personal computers, laptops, television sets, tablets, and set-top boxes. Additionally, rising demand for 5G in mobile communications also fueling the growth of the market.

However, common concerns associated with FD-SOI wafers are expected to restrain the growth of the market. The common concerns associated with the implementation of the FD-SOI Wafers includeThe primary concerns of the FD-SOI are the cost associated with the SOI wafer. This is due to the fact of difficulties in accurately controlling the silicon film thickness across the entire wafer. The film thickness plays a major role as the threshold voltage is dependent upon it. The variations in the film thickness will directly affect the device’s performance. The FD-SOI technology is very difficult to implement multiple threshold voltage (V) circuitry. This type of circuitry is important and useful for creating areas of higher performance with low-power devices.

Furthermore, the surging adoption of FD-SOI in IoT devices and ML applications offers lucrative growth opportunities for the market. With the increasing demand for the internet of things (IoTs) and ML applications, the market has a strong potential to grow in the forecasted period. The FD-SOI Wafers have been increasing owing to the increasing use of digital electronics. This creates a new opportunity for new IoT devices and applications to ensure the consumption of ultra-low power, ultra-low current leakage, small and dense packaging, and cost-efficiency of IoT devices. Therefore, FD-SOI is considered one of the most effective techniques used in IoT devices. Increasing deployment of FD-SOI-based IoT solutions in automotive and network infrastructure creates strong potential for market growth.
