Deep Reactive Ion Etching DRIE Equipment and Materials Market

The Deep Reactive Ion Etching, DRIE is a structuration process originally used for MEMS. This process enables achieving etch depths of 100s of micrometers with almost vertical sidewalls with very high aspect ratio (> 50:1 in some cases). The process was first developed by Robert Bosch, and thus it is also called the “BOSCH process” and is used whenever high aspect ratios are targeted. SPP, the equipment manufacturer,obtained a license from Bosch to exploit the technology.This agreement has led to incredible growth of the DRIE market. First used for production of accelerometers, the process is used today for production of (some) ink jet-heads, pressure sensors,gyroscopes, micro phones and micro actuators (e.g.MEMS auto-focus). But the use of the process has become popular outside of the MEMS world, for Advanced Packaging applications.

Market Analysis And Forecast For Optoelectronics, Sensors And Discretes

After hitting a rough patch in the second half of the last decade, CMOS image sensors have finally regained growth momentum, and this once high-flying optoelectronics market segment is now expected to set record-high sales each year through 2016 (see Figure), according to the report.  Stronger, more consistent sales growth in CMOS image sensors is being driven by a new wave of camera-equipped portable products, such as touch-screen smartphones and tablet computers, as well as embedded digital-imaging applications being designed into automobiles, medical equipment, security networks, and other vision-recognition systems, says the 2012 O-S-D Report.

Worldwide Business Use Smartphone 2012-2016 Forecast

The Worldwide Business Use Smartphone 2012-2016 forecast is split into employee-liable and corporate-liable segments. Forecasts are provided by mobile operating system and by region. This study is the result of an ongoing research on mobile devices and their emerging role within corporate environments. As smartphone devices proliferate the enterprise, by either corporate or employee-liable purchase, companies want to take advantage of the fact that employees can be productive from anywhere. The increasing availability of mobile enterprise applications and solutions to manage and secure these devices ensure that both segments of this market will continue to experience healthy growth throughout the forecast period. Companies Covered: Apple Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Nokia Corporation, Research In Motion Limited and Samsung.

Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market

The purpose of the Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market report is to examine the latest opportunities and challenges for organic photovoltaics, OPV over the next eight years. Specifically, this report provides a market analysis of recent developments in OPV and updates eight-year forecasts for OPV materials and devices. This report examines the latest products, strategies and technical developments of the industry.  We assess whether performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for OPV, or whether the OPV market’s growth will continue to underperform, thereby threatening to derail OPV completely.

Organic Photovoltaics Technologies, Players and Forecasts

The organic photovoltaics, OPV market is estimated at $4.6 million and forecasted to rise at $ 630 million in 2022. This report develops technology roadmaps or guidelines, which forecast improvements in module efficiency, lifetime and costs over the next decade. They provide a practical insight into how the technology is likely to evolve. We also assess the merits of OPV technologies for a diverse range of market segments, including automotive, posters and point-of-purchase (PoP) advertisement, apparel, customer electronics, off-grid applications for the developing world, power generation, and building integrated photovoltaics. The photovoltaic (PV) market has been both booming for the past few years yet also remains an extremely volatile sector for suppliers. In 2011 alone, the total global installed capacity was 22 GW. Currently, crystalline silicon devices control 85% of market, with the remainder being captured by a range of thin film PV devices including CdTe, CIGS, and a-Si. Margins are increasingly tight for on-grid technologies.

MEMS for Cell Phones and Tablets

The market for MEMS in cell phones and tablets will grow 19.8% ti reach a $5.4B value in 2017. New MEMS devices will benefit from the mobile device growth that is predicted for the coming years: phones and tablet will represent a 2.9B units in 2017 and most of them will integrate 5 to 10 MEMS devices. The MEMS industry will be largely impacted by global trends in mobile devices: connected devices, video and music consumption, social networking, diversity of users and usages, mobile advertising. In the reverse way, we also note that the booming demand for smartphones and media tablets can be partly explained by the integration of MEMS sensors which provide new functionalities.
