The Worldwide Industry & Market Opportunities and forecasts to 2014 for RF/Microwave Discrete Semiconductors (RMDS)
Engalco, Aug 2007
This is an extensive and intensive report providing detailed information on the current status and (most importantly) forecasted markets and shipments of various classes of discrete RF/microwave semiconductor device products. In this context “discrete semiconductor devices” means all types of both active and passive diodes as well as transistors.
In spite of huge advances in integrated RF chips (MMICs and RFICs—subjects of sister reports), discrete RF/microwave products are still important in many applications. Many drivers are involved, for example: economics especially in regions where relatively low labour costs stimulate hybrid integration or even direct-to-board implementation, subsystems where only the special characteristics obtainable with discrete devices will provide the performance—and customized subsystem products. Required RF power output levels are also sometimes beyond the capabilities of any form of IC or are more cost-effective in some designs.
In this report we cover in depth a study of the various types of discrete RF/microwave devices including their production and developmental status. We also include a detailed study of the industry together with largely extensive profiles of x50 manufacturers of RF semiconductors.
The authors are responsible for generating their own market data, including forecasts, by a series of careful and robust processes. First and foremost amongst these processes is the detailed contacting we operate with key executives within the industry—manufacturers internationally as well as distributor companies. We also apply a rigorous appraisal of the market dynamics in terms of the influences of likely future events and trends. Under this activity we include the probable emergence of disruptive technologies and changes affecting end-user sectors that would impact sales of the various types of products. All aspects, including captive markets, are critiqued in some depth of detail.
Underlying technologies, impacts and resources.
These particularly include the semiconductors GaAs, GaN, InP, silicon and SiC as well as all types of diodes and transistors built using these semiconductor materials. Our most important resource—by far—is the regular contact maintained by a mixture of telephone and e-mail with appropriate industry executives the majority of whom are well known. An assessment of the exhibitors at the major annual industry expo—IMS, Honolulu (June 2007)—was also used. Beyond this we also naturally make substantial use of various web sites—corporate and otherwise. In addition we regularly receive e-mail inputs from “FierceWi-Fi”, Microwaves & RF, MSN and RF Globalnet. Paper resources include Compound Semiconductor (also web), Microwaves & RF (also web) and the Microwave Journal.
