Buy Now Full Report https://www.sphericalinsights.com/checkout/2646 The FD-SOI segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Based on wafer type, the global silicon on insulator Market is RF-SOI, FD-SOI, PD-SOI, and others. Among these, the FD-SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator) segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share of 38.6% over the forecast period. Due to their advantages like low cost, reduced leakage current, less complexity, high flexibility, and their ability to enhance performance and power trade-offs. Various FD SOI wafer manufacturers are leaning towards new product launches and collaborations with other SOI market players to meet the increasing demand and strengthen their product portfolio. The Smart cut segment is witnessing significant CAGR growth over the forecast period. Based on technology, the global silicon-on-insulator market is segmented into BESOI, SiMOX, SMART CUT, ELTRAN, and SoS period. Over the forecast period, smart cut technology is expected to have the largest market share of Silicon on Insulator (SOI). Since it can make high-performing devices, is low-power, and has fewer thermal and electrical parasitics. By first attaching a thin layer of silicon to an insulating substrate, the Smart-Cut technique produces an ultra-thin device layer by selectively etching the silicon. The RF FEM segment accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 57.2% over the forecast period. Based on product, the global Silicon on Insulator Market is segmented into RF FEM, MEMS, Power, Optical Communication, and Image Sensing. Among these, the RF FEM segment is expected to hold the largest share of the silicon insulator market during the forecast period. The rising demand for RF FEM in the future 5G technology, as well as consumer electronic products such as smartphones and laptops, are factors influencing the segment's growth. Every smartphone uses RF chips constructed from RF-SOI wafers. By Application Insights The photonics segment is expected to hold the largest share of the silicon-on-silicon-on-insulator market during the forecast period. Based on the application, the global silicon on the insulator market is classified into consumer electronics, automotive, datacom and telecom, industrial, photonics, and others. Among these, the Photonics segment is expected to hold the largest share of the silicon insulator market during the forecast period. The development of photovoltaic technology and increased government spending to minimize carbon footprints will lead to an expansion in the market for SOI. Additionally, SOI wafers are widely used in silicon photonics. Passive or active optical waveguides and other devices can be made from the crystalline silicon layer on the insulator (for instance, by carrying out the necessary implantations).
