Challenges and Opportunities in the Changing Landscape of MEMS Manufacturing
There is a big boost in demand of MEMS in the last two years driven by their use in consumer applications such as smart phones, tablets and gaming consoles. Yole Developpment predicts about 14％compound annual growth of MEMS for next five year with a market of $19.5B in 2016. This increasing demand for MEMS has brought in significant change in the MEMS manufacturing landscape. Currently MEMS manufacturing is dominated by IDMs. MEMS foundries have only about 9%share of total MEMS revenue. Majority of these MEMS foundries are involved in manufacturing of high Value and low Volume specialty MEMS products. However, with increasing demand, new business opportunities have emerged for high Volume manufacturing of MEMS by these foundries. There is also a trend of IDMs outsourcing their MEMS business to stay competitive in growing consumer market. Fables companies are also gearing up to grab a larger share of MEMS market. The competitive pressure has also accelerated the use of 8”substrate for MEMS. The growing business potential, as well as use of 8” infrastructure for MEMS fabrication, has also attracted some Integrated Circuits (ICs) foundries to enter into manufacturing of MEMS.
