Sapphire Technology Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2015 - 2021

Sapphire is basically aluminum oxide in its pure from which has no porosity or boundaries, and hence dense in nature. Low dislocation and high purity have led to adoption of sapphire as an ideal material to be used in wide range of electronic substrates. Thin sapphire wafers are used as an insulating substrate in high-frequency and high-power CMOS integrated circuits. These integrated circuits are known as silicon on sapphire (SOS) chip.

<strong>Sapphire</strong> is basically aluminum oxide in its pure from which has no porosity or boundaries, <strong>and</strong> hence<br />

dense in nature. Low dislocation <strong>and</strong> high purity have led to adoption of sapphire as an ideal material to<br />

be used in wide range of electronic substrates. Thin sapphire wafers are used as an insulating substrate<br />

in high-frequency <strong>and</strong> high-power CMOS integrated circuits. These integrated circuits are known as<br />

silicon on sapphire (SOS) chip. These chips are primarily used for high-power radio-frequency (RF)<br />

applications which include satellite communication systems, cellular telephones, <strong>and</strong> others. In SOS chip<br />

both analog <strong>and</strong> digital circuitry integration takes place. Since, sapphire has higher conductivity for heat<br />

<strong>and</strong> lower for electricity; sapphire provides good insulation <strong>and</strong> even balances the generated heat in the<br />

circuit.<br />

Owing to these advantages, sapphire has evolved as a versatile material that is used specifically in<br />

semiconductor industry, which is characterized by requirement for cost effective, time saving, <strong>and</strong> efficient<br />

operational solutions. Incorporation of sapphire technology for fabrication of components for use in enduse<br />

products across industries such as consumer electronics, aerospace <strong>and</strong> defense, power, <strong>and</strong> other<br />

sectors can help device manufacturers, achieve efficient performance. There is huge potential for<br />

sapphire technology in different devices <strong>and</strong> applications required across different end-use industries.<br />

Thus, dem<strong>and</strong> for sapphire technology is directly influenced by trend across these industries. For<br />

instance, a Silicon-on-<strong>Sapphire</strong> chip, which is formed by depositing a very thin layer of silicon in a<br />

sapphire wafer at high temperature, has profound use in consumer electronics sector majorly for LED<br />

technology market. There are primarily two ways to make SOS wafer which include epitaxial SOS<br />

semiconductor technology <strong>and</strong> bonded SOS technology. .<br />

Factors such as high cost effectiveness as compared to other substrate materials, increased dem<strong>and</strong> for<br />

LED technology are expected to drive dem<strong>and</strong> for sapphire technology in future. Moreover, improved<br />

manufacturing processes resulting in use of silicon on sapphire for wafer processing is further expected to<br />

fuel dem<strong>and</strong> for sapphire technology.. n addition, manufactures are also keen on developing solutions<br />

using sapphire technology, which would result in less operational cost <strong>and</strong> maximize profits. This is due to<br />

the benefits of insulating substrate, which includes low power consumption, low parasitic capacitance<br />

resulting in increased speed, <strong>and</strong> better isolation, <strong>and</strong> high linearity as compared to bulk silicon.<br />
