Silicon Capacitors Market

Silicon Capacitors Market: Overview

The market size for Silicon Capacitors Market was USD 1.4 Billion in 2021, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2 percent during the forecast period. Silicon capacitors are gaining traction in the automotive and telecom sectors due to a forecasted rise in demand brought on by the increasing acceptance of the downsizing trend in industries. These capacitors are one of the vital capacitor kinds that have been gaining acceptance in various industries. It is anticipated that this discovery would present silicon capacitor manufacturers with fresh, lucrative opportunities. The South Korean company ELOHIM created a high-density, ultra-compact silicon capacitor for use in 5G technologies in April 2022. Additionally, the company intends to extend the use of this capacitor to automated driving and artificial intelligence.

Silicon-based dielectrics, such as silicon nitride and silicon dioxide, are frequently used in high-density capacitors. Additionally, silicon capacitors are frequently used in applications with high stability, tolerance, and durability levels at high temperatures. Due to their better performance characteristics, silicon RF capacitors are a viable choice for use in various harsh environments, such as aerospace and defense. The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) is a recognized medical alternative with the potential to save millions of people who have heart attacks yearly. One of the key components of the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) device is a high-voltage, high-stability capacitor.

A cap on the highest capacitance can be achieved, despite silicon capacitors' outstanding properties like strong stability at high temperatures, extremely low leakage current, high insulating resistance, and high capacitance density. The most recent technological developments are anticipated to assist in overcoming this technological constraint. Manufacturers are looking into alternative dielectrics to solve the significant technical challenges related to silicon-based dielectrics and enhance the fabrication process. With the aid of its most recent silicon process technology, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. expanded its product line in June 2021 by creating silicon capacitors with a density of 1.3 F/mm2 for the mobile and high-performance computing (HPC) industries.

Silicon Capacitors Market: COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has caused a reduction in market growth for silicon capacitors. The temporary suspension of significant manufacturing operations in end-user verticals caused by the government's mobility restrictions impacted the demand for silicon capacitors. Many positive instances caused the market for silicon capacitors' primary raw material supplier, China, to decline drastically. Due to the interruption in the supply chain for raw materials, industries that relied heavily on China for their raw materials saw a significant decline in their operations.
