DIGITIMES Research pointed out that the application of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) inertial components has taken off, and the applications in mobile phones are currently favored by the global industry. As a result, manufacturers accelerometer and Gyroscope products are also embedded in mobile phones. In the middle, the package height can be reduced to less than 1mm. Currently include Kionix, Freescale, Bosch and Other companies have introduced 3 × 3mm, and a height of 0.9mm accelerometer products to meet the downstream industry's design. In addition to product size, the current accelerometer prices straight down, in line with the application of consumer electronics products is the main driving force.
In addition to projectors, automotive electronics and other industries, the current global mobile phone market with a shipment volume of 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion units in one year is the most favored by various global companies. The industry believes that MEMS components will take off.
The MEMS components already in use in mobile phones now include more than two microphone components for use in functions such as sound collection and noise filtering. In addition, accelerometers can perform motion recognition such as flipping; and gyroscopes can be used with personal accelerometers as navigation devices. More accurate action discrimination.
In addition, people in the MEMS industry expect that the future embedded projection module will also be regarded as a camera lens and become the standard equipment. Therefore, as a whole, the market for mobile phones carrying MEMS components continues to expand. In order to comply with the parts and components used in mobile phones, the most important thing is the size of the product volume, so various companies have been actively developing thin-type packaging technology. At this stage, the package height of 0.9mm can already meet downstream requirements.
More important is the price of the product. Accelerometers show that the average ASP has fallen below US$1, while industry analysts believe that in 2015, the accelerometer will come to US$0.5 and eventually to US$0.3. Only to the bottom. However, even if the price of the product goes straight down, the total output value of accelerometer products will still rank among the highest in MEMS components. The market estimates that in 2012, the annual sales of accelerometers will exceed one billion, and the market will have endless business opportunities.
Of course, in addition to mobile phones, consumer electronics such as digital cameras, car navigation devices, and game consoles are also important application areas for MEMS components. Market analysts generally believe that with the expansion of applications, future market newcomers will focus on design, so they can also accelerate the development of the foundry market and the speed of the release of IDM.
