Soitec, producer of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates for the global semiconductor industry, confirmed that its business strategy to invest and develop SOI production capacity to meet demand is further validated by Japan's move to SOI applications for consumer markets. The company cites the current manufacturing ramp, the burgeoning SOI-based game console market, and the active promotion of new SOI-based chips for consumer products as key drivers in today's markets.
Andre-Jacques Auberton-Herve, CEO, Soitec, said, ˇ°Japan is instrumental in driving SOI into consumer markets. Leading-edge consumer electronics demand the lower power consumption and higher performance characteristics that SOI enables. As the world's leading SOI supplier, Soitec is ready to support the industry's growth with our expanded production capacity and strategic, focused R&D.ˇ±
