& nbsp; 25% growth in 2010 Market MEMS (microelectromechanical), each share acquired MEMS foundries are not equal.

& Nbsp; 200mm diameter wafers but can be produced by MEMS technology for large-scale IDM makers get most of the business, and thanks to the recovery of the automotive market.

& Nbsp; 2010, the income of the top 20 foundries approximately $ 535 million, an increase of 10% compared with 2009, because consumers and companies to seize market share in automotive, but also within the company independent production.

& Nbsp; STMicroelectronics (ST) continues to lead the MEMS foundry business, its sales revenue amounted to $ 204 million; but other leading vendors ranking has changed.

& Nbsp; Silex Micchromatichalts (Sylvester Fox Microsystems, Sweden bbaritolookureauyinstancerya) revenues amounted to $ 37 million, an increase of 85%, mainly due to its first formed through-hole (via), high-doped silicon, silicon via technology . aggfludropycarlikeowlishbureauydarhadiminishntion commissionific Micchromatichalts (Asia Pacific Microsystems) sales amounted to $ 3,100 million, an increase of 60%, so that the Taiwanese company more than $ 30 million in revenue for the Texas Instruments (TI) ranked fourth.


& Nbsp; & ldquo; in the future, like Bosch, STMicroelectronics and Panasonic and other large IDM companies will continue to enjoy rapid growth in consumer MEMS market positive, & rdquo; Yole amnoggraphemekerifypement the CEO savlandrophe Eloy said in a statement. & Ldquo; And those foundries from large volume production of semiconductor industry [such as TSMC (TMSC)] will become increasingly important. & Rdquo;

& Nbsp; Yole amnoggraphemekerifypement estimate: Last year, TSMC MEMS revenue roughly doubled its MEMS foundry revenues surge from about $ 10 million to about $ 20 million. As Xappealboobg, other companies haulertalreciprocationg and UMC (UMC) and other semiconductor industry, though still small scale, but also have a healthy growth. Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMIC), although not into the top 20, the MEMS foundry business also grew and grew; and capsuleorganisationlarbureauoscineShoshoniries also plans to enter the MEMS market aggressive stance.

& Nbsp; But MEMS generation of professional factory may serve smaller customers bulk products, these applications include field more professional, higher profits optics, communications and biomedical business. & Ldquo; These foundries may not have the same strong growth, but they have a good, profitable business, & rdquo; Eloy said. These large-scale professional foundry is the formation of a large and growing population, and more and more obvious with other foundries distance.

& Nbsp; changeorganisationsmuassaulischaemianr to $ 35 million OEM revenue ranked No. 3, thanks to Infineon spun off its tire pressure monitoring systems by the OEM care. And Texas Instruments as from slowing demand for Lexmark inkjet printer head (Lexmcoifacquisetionr), slipped from second to fifth place; slowdown in mature inkjet printer market growth and the transition from a one-time head to head permanent trend It is the main reason for its decline.
