Market Share of RF Power Semiconductor Industry
The RF power semiconductor market is consolidated. Major market share is occupied by top players in the market. Moreover, the manufacturing cost of making RF power semiconductors is high which makes the new player difficult toenter the market. Some of the key players includeAnalog DevicesInc.,Aethercomm Inc., CreeInc.,Mitsubishi Electric Corporation,NXP Semiconductors NV,Qorvo Inc.,STMicroelectronics NV, among others.
- June 2019 -NXP Semiconductors N.V.unveiled one of the industry’s most integrated portfolio of RF solutions for 5G cellular infrastructure, industrial and commercial markets. Building on its strong legacy, disruptive R&D, world-class manufacturing and global presence, NXP’s comprehensive suite of solutions exceed today’s 5G RF power amplification demands for base stations--from MIMO to massive MIMO based active antenna systems for cellular and Millimeter Wave (mmWave) spectrum bands.
- May 2019 -As part of its long-term growth strategy, Cree, Inc.announcedit will invest up to USD 1 billion in the expansion of its silicon carbide capacity with the development of a state-of-the-art, automated 200mm silicon carbide fabrication facility and a materials mega factory at its U.S. campus headquarters in Durham, N.C. It markedthe company’s largest investment to date in fueling its Wolfspeed silicon carbide and GaN on silicon carbide business. Upon completion in 2024, the facilities will substantially increase the company’s silicon carbide materials capability and wafer fabrication capacity, allowing wide bandgap semiconductor solutions that enable the dramatic technology shifts underway within the automotive, communications infrastructure and industrial markets.
