Strained Silicon: Technologies, Opportunies

SUMMARY

Silicon is the essential foundation of all electronics-based products, and is the basic building block of digital innovation. Its ability to behave as an efficient semiconductor allows silicon to be used in today’s processors, where tight electrical control is needed to get the product to even work. Throughout the years, the natural ability of silicon rarely has been the problem in getting chips to go faster and faster. However, with the latest generation of process technology, silicon is now proving to be very problematic to work with.

A more radical change is needed in the material structure, processing method or device design to enhance IC performance. The latest innovation is the concept of strained silicon. The basic idea behind this: if silicon atoms can forcibly be pushed apart, then electrons flowing between gates will be less impeded. Electrons flow through strained silicon 70% faster than through nonstrained silicon, and strained chip designs can be 35% faster than standard designs.

This report provides an up-to-date analysis of recent developments and current trends in the global strained silicon arena. The identification of significant revenue growth drivers in specific product categories is an additional aim. The objective of this type of systematic research is to quantify the projected impact of the forces, from within and from outside, currently at work in this industry.

SCOPE OF STUDY

The report contains:

• An analysis of strained silicon in terms of market size and revenue trends.
• Revenue forecasts for specific product segments through 2010
• Examinations of the most important applications by product
• A technology assessment focused on trends that will develop more significantly during the forecast period
• A discussion of the competitive aspects of each segment, along with several successful suppliers’ market strategies
• A snapshot assessment of strained siliconrelated U.S. patents from 2002 to 2005
• Vendor shares and profiles of a selection of the leading strained silicon vendors/users.
