Acoustic MEMS and Audio Solutions 2017 - Report by Yole DeveloppementYole Developpement
The audio business is about to experience profound changes
Audio is becoming a key function of multiple existing and new products that increasingly has to be analyzed as a complete landscape compared to independent devices. From mobile phones to cars, from home assistants to drones, audio products like microphones, speakers and audio integrated circuits (ICs) are essential for all the new systems driving consumer electronic markets. The total audio business was worth more than $15B in 2016. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) close to 6%, in 2022, the audio device market will be worth $20B and become a key feature in all the applications it is involved in. And there’s clearly room for more added value in the audio supply and value chain, as well as other significant changes.
In 2016, Yole estimates that the MEMS microphone market has almost reached the $1B milestone, with a value of $993M. Combined with the $700M electret condenser microphone (ECM) market, now the acquisition of sound is almost a $2B value market. The µspeaker market is estimated to be worth $8.7B, (meaning speakers less than two inches in diameter). In addition to these two visible elements of the audio chain, the audio IC market, which includes codecs, digital signal processors (DSPs) and amplifiers, is estimated to be worth $4.3B in 2016.
This new Yole report describes the evolution of the three audio functions, microphones, speakers and audio ICs, technical trends, as well as the evolution of the strategies of the main players to capture a larger part of this fast-growing field.

Combo sensors continue their growth in a market expected to reach $1.4B in 2019, overcoming discrete sensors. Cellphones and tablets still drive the market but wearables will soon take their place in the landscape.
THE ‘BIG 4’ COMPANIES IN INERTIAL MEMS SHARE 75% OF THE MARKET; STMICROELECTRONICS LOST HIGH-END SMARTPHONE SHARE; STRONG CHALLENGES CAME FROM INVENSENSE & BOSCH SENSORTEC WHO WON APPLE’S BUSINESS
STMicroelectronics (ST) is still the global leader in the inertial consumer sensor market with 40% market share - InvenSense and Bosch Sensortec (Bosch) hardly compete with it today. InvenSense grew strongly, reaching more than 12%, going ahead of Bosch in the inertial market. The ‘big 4’, including AKM, are preparing for the future, with InvenSense holding an advantage as it seems to be ahead in the competition on 9-axis sensors, which are found in a large numbers of products in development, including Google Glass. Prices are still dropping sharply, with 6-axis IMUs sold to some large volume customers at less than $1 in 2013. To stay in the race, leaders are going to introduce technical innovations: monolithic integration of 6-axis IMUs into 9-axis IMUs, TSVs, chip scale packaging, and active capping.
Current challengers and newcomers are eyeing this combo opportunity and expect to take market share, even though the supply chain is consolidating. Kionix, Freescale, Alps Electric, Fairchild, Maxim and more than 10 other companies are targeting this market space, but the leaders are well established and competition is hard. New business models are developing and more fabless companies are likely to be involved in the combo market. Details on newcomer technologies and roadmaps are provided in the report.
THE REAL VALUE IS IN SENSOR FUSION, MOVEMENT WITHIN THE VALUE CHAIN IS ESSENTIAL
Value is moving to function delivery with embedded sensor fusion. Recent acquisition of companies like Movea, Wifislam or CSR is proof of high interest in sensor fusion and also the ‘internet of things’ trend. A lot of actors are considering fusion sensors as a way to make sensors smart, because competition isn’t on performance any more, but in functions/applications. Companies need to add value to their sensors with software solutions. There has been hype about this for many years, but now we’re starting to see commercial implementation. The first real products with sensor fusion are already on the market, such as sensor hubs in the latest smartphones and tablets from Samsung and more recently from Apple, with the M8 processor in the iPhone 6 & 6 Plus. In addition, GPS chipsets with indoor navigation capability relying on MEMS sensors are now available from CSR, Qualcomm and Broadcom.
Camera Module Industry 2017 Report by Yole Developpement Yole Developpement
New technologies and applications have restructured the Compact Camera Module industry
AT 12.2% CAGR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE COMPACT CAMERA MODULE INDUSTRY (CCM) IS A GROWTH POWERHOUSE WITH NUMEROUS LARGE COMPANIES THRIVING IN A DYNAMIC MARKET
In 2015, Yole Développement published its first report on the camera module industry and mentioned the immaturity of the ecosystem with numerous small players especially for module assembly. Now the dust has settled and giant camera module players have emerged such as LG Innotek, Semco, Foxconn Sharp, O-Film and Sunny Optical. This 2017 edition is giving you the insights into the trajectory of the industry and of more than 30 players serving mobile and other applications such as automotive and security.
Historically one could differentiate the faith of camera module market from the sub parts such as the image sensor, the lens and the autofocus or optical image stabilization system (Voice Coil Motors - VCM). It seems that differentiated growth has now ended and every sub segment is enjoying almost equal benefit from the rising market tide. This convergence is in part due to the end of quasi-monopoly from Sony in the image sensor sub-segment now joined by Samsung and Omnivision. The story is very similar for Largan Precision in the lens set sub-segment which is now facing renewed competition from Sunny Optical, Kantatsu and Genious Optical.
The last sub-domain of our interest in this report is VCMs. The growth of VCM companies has been undercut by dire structuration efforts. We had mentioned the inability of the VCM to serve the demand in the mobile market. Price pressures have changed the face of competition with competitors such as Mitsumi and Shicoh which were forced out and new players such as New Shicoh and Jawha to take center stage.

Silicon Photonics for Data Centers and Other Applications 2016 - Report by Yo...Yole Developpement
Exponential data growth in data centers will propel silicon photonics to take off into other applications, like lidar.
Big data is getting bigger by the second. Transporting this level of data around with existing technologies will soon reach power consumption, density and weight limits. Photons will continue to replace electrons throughout networks, including in the data center, in the rack and very soon on the board.
Silicon photonics is an exciting technology mixing optics, CMOS technology and advanced packaging. It combines silicon technology’s low cost, higher integration and interconnect density and higher number of embedded functionalities with lower power consumption and better reliability compared to legacy optics.
Massive R&D investments have been made in silicon photonics, but today there are still few products on the market. However, this technology has been strongly pushed by large Webcom companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook, with investments that will overtake the traditional service providers’ investments in a few years. These Webcom players are targeting $1/Gb prices and are principals for the development of cost-effective photonics technology for future generations of data centers.
In the ultrasound module market, CMUT and PMUT are growing two times faster in medical and consumer applications.
More information: https://www.i-micronews.com/products/ultrasound-sensing-technologies-2020/
Beyond all of the hype and tumult, market drivers and technological developments are converging to ensure a bright future for Si photonics.
THOUGH THE SI PHOTONICS MARKET HAS JUST KICKED OFF, VOLUME PRODUCTION IS ALREADY CLOSE
Big data is getting bigger by the second, and transporting it with existing technologies will push the limits of power consumption, density and weight. Yole Développement analysts are convinced that photons will replace electrons, and that Si photonics will be the mid-term platform to assist this transition.
Si photonics offers the advantages of silicon technology: low cost, higher integration, more embedded functionalities and higher interconnect density. It also provides two other key advantages:
1. Low power consumption: particularly when compared to copper-based solutions, which are expensive and require high electrical consumption.
2. Reliability: especially important for data centers, where a typical rack server’s lifespan is two years before replacement.
Back in 2006, VOA were the market’s first Si photonics products. Today, there are still a few Si photonics products on the market (i.e. VOA, AOC and transceivers from Luxtera, Kotura/Mellanox and Cisco/Lightwire) but big companies (i.e. Intel, HP and IBM) are close to realizing silicon photonics products. Yole Développement also sees big OEMs such as Facebook, Google and Amazon developing their own optical data center technology in partnership with chip firms (such as Facebook with Intel).
In this report Yole Développement shows that, in the short-term, silicon photonics will be the platform solution for future high-power, high-bandwidth data centers. Silicon photonics chips will be deployed in high-speed signal transmission systems, which greatly exceed copper cabling’s capabilities, i.e. for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC). As silicon photonics evolves and chips become more sophisticated, we expect the technology to be used more often in processing tasks such as interconnecting multiple cores within processor chips to boost access to shared cache and busses.
Analysts also analyzed silicon photonics’ chances of being used for telecom, consumer, medical and biosensors applications, compared with competing technologies.

1) An independent review of the status of managed services and outsourcing, including case studies and realities behind vendor claims.
2) Guidance for telecom operators on immediate practical steps and long-term strategies tailored to their markets.
3) Insights from the operator and vendor perspectives on topics like types of managed services, business models, challenges, and market forecasts.
The workshop is aimed at telecom strategy, networks, and product management executives and will use presentations, discussions, and real-world examples over two days.
The quad flat pack no lead or quad flat non-leaded (QFN) is one of the fastest growing package types in the electronics industry today. While the advantages of QFNs are well documented, concerns arise with its reliability and manufacturability. Acceptance of this package, especially in long-life, severe-environment, high-reliability applications, is currently limited. One of the most common drivers for reliability failures is inappropriate adoption of new technologies, such as the case with QFN. In this presentation, we will review and discuss QFN related reliability concerns and challenges, and propose Physics-of-Failure (PoF) based approaches to allow the confident introduction of QFN components into electronics products.

Silicon Photonics for Data Centers and Other Applications 2016 - Report by Yo...Yole Developpement
Exponential data growth in data centers will propel silicon photonics to take off into other applications, like lidar.
Big data is getting bigger by the second. Transporting this level of data around with existing technologies will soon reach power consumption, density and weight limits. Photons will continue to replace electrons throughout networks, including in the data center, in the rack and very soon on the board.
Silicon photonics is an exciting technology mixing optics, CMOS technology and advanced packaging. It combines silicon technology’s low cost, higher integration and interconnect density and higher number of embedded functionalities with lower power consumption and better reliability compared to legacy optics.
Massive R&D investments have been made in silicon photonics, but today there are still few products on the market. However, this technology has been strongly pushed by large Webcom companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook, with investments that will overtake the traditional service providers’ investments in a few years. These Webcom players are targeting $1/Gb prices and are principals for the development of cost-effective photonics technology for future generations of data centers.
In the ultrasound module market, CMUT and PMUT are growing two times faster in medical and consumer applications.

Beyond all of the hype and tumult, market drivers and technological developments are converging to ensure a bright future for Si photonics.
THOUGH THE SI PHOTONICS MARKET HAS JUST KICKED OFF, VOLUME PRODUCTION IS ALREADY CLOSE
Big data is getting bigger by the second, and transporting it with existing technologies will push the limits of power consumption, density and weight. Yole Développement analysts are convinced that photons will replace electrons, and that Si photonics will be the mid-term platform to assist this transition.
Si photonics offers the advantages of silicon technology: low cost, higher integration, more embedded functionalities and higher interconnect density. It also provides two other key advantages:
1. Low power consumption: particularly when compared to copper-based solutions, which are expensive and require high electrical consumption.
2. Reliability: especially important for data centers, where a typical rack server’s lifespan is two years before replacement.
Back in 2006, VOA were the market’s first Si photonics products. Today, there are still a few Si photonics products on the market (i.e. VOA, AOC and transceivers from Luxtera, Kotura/Mellanox and Cisco/Lightwire) but big companies (i.e. Intel, HP and IBM) are close to realizing silicon photonics products. Yole Développement also sees big OEMs such as Facebook, Google and Amazon developing their own optical data center technology in partnership with chip firms (such as Facebook with Intel).
In this report Yole Développement shows that, in the short-term, silicon photonics will be the platform solution for future high-power, high-bandwidth data centers. Silicon photonics chips will be deployed in high-speed signal transmission systems, which greatly exceed copper cabling’s capabilities, i.e. for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC). As silicon photonics evolves and chips become more sophisticated, we expect the technology to be used more often in processing tasks such as interconnecting multiple cores within processor chips to boost access to shared cache and busses.
Analysts also analyzed silicon photonics’ chances of being used for telecom, consumer, medical and biosensors applications, compared with competing technologies.

The quad flat pack no lead or quad flat non-leaded (QFN) is one of the fastest growing package types in the electronics industry today. While the advantages of QFNs are well documented, concerns arise with its reliability and manufacturability. Acceptance of this package, especially in long-life, severe-environment, high-reliability applications, is currently limited. One of the most common drivers for reliability failures is inappropriate adoption of new technologies, such as the case with QFN. In this presentation, we will review and discuss QFN related reliability concerns and challenges, and propose Physics-of-Failure (PoF) based approaches to allow the confident introduction of QFN components into electronics products.
