Market Adoption of Silicon Microphone from Mobile Phone Suppliers has Been Very Swift from 2004 up to the Beginning of 2005



Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c23638) has announced the addition of Silicon Microphone Market 2005 to their offering

Silicon Microphone Market 2005: from Si microphone to acoustic modules". This report provides a complete analysis of the silicon microphone s market players and technologies with unique features

Complete analysis of the silicon microphone s market players and technologies with unique features (Technology and product development for microphones applications, comparison of the different approaches of the device manufacturers (business models and technologies), key manufacturing process requirements and critical manufacturing steps and Industry development status, risk analysis on the existing business model, market evaluation and description of the applications inside and outside the mobile phone market and evolution steps from device to acoustic module manufacturing).


Silicon Microphone is one of the very fast growing applications of the Mems markets. The market adoption from mobile phone suppliers has been very swift from 2004 up to the beginning of 2005. The overall market is forecasted to grow from 60+ Millions units in 2005 to more than 350 in 2008, representing major part of the mobile phone total available market.

The acquisition of Knowles Electronics by Dover Electronics is also a sign of great interest of the acoustic business which is facing strong changes continuous development of existing applications and possibilities with the new MEMS devices to evolve from Si microphone to real
acoustics modules.

This approach is a key enabler for the integration of MEMS devices in mobile phones and related applications.

This report provides an analysis of the replacement market for ECM devices as well as an in-depth analysis of other silicon microphone applications. For each MEMS microphone structures under analysis, a description of the features is described and operating principle explained. We have identified for each device types the lead developers and the status of development. In addition to the analysis, the MEMS structures and latest news for each company are described in the new and updated company profiles of the main market players.
