About this market
Many semiconductor vendors do not own fabrication facilities. As a result, they outsource the expensive process of manufacturing semiconductors to foundries and dedicated wafer providers. This helps them to cut down on operational costs, capital investments, and the complexities associated with the manufacturing process analysts have predicted that the global silicon on insulator (SOI) market will register a CAGR of almost 25% by 2023.

Market overview
The need for low-power and semi-conductor solutions
There is an increase in the demand for chipsets in low-power computing applications. This is resulting in an increased adoption of SOI wafers for manufacturing chipset.

Challenges associated with sub-20 nm SOI design
Most of the foundry customers are scaling the below 28 nm SOI process node technology, which makes the fabrication process more difficult and expensive.
