Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Market Trends:

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) are circuits that operate at microwave frequencies (300 MHz to 300 GHz). They are extremely tiny and can be mass-produced on a big scale. MMICs have several applications, including microwave mixing, power, low-noise amplification, and high-frequency switching. They are now a popular alternative for high-frequency applications because of benefits such as small size, low cost, and good performance.

Advanced semiconductor technology is critical in the evolution of RF and microwave applications for 5G and satellite communications (SATCOM), where the next generation of systems is going towards millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. Increasing bandwidth requirements across various industries increased digitalization globally through an increase in wireless communication applications, and the evolution and installation of 5G networks will drive the market over the projection period.

Top Trends Shaping the Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Market: 

1. Gallium arsenides (GaAs) will grow significantly

• With rising demand and limited availability of basic electronic materials such as silicon wafers, scientists, engineers, and electronics manufacturers are constantly looking for substitute materials. Gallium, in the form of gallium nitride (GaN) and gallium arsenide (GaAs), has emerged as a strong candidate, if not a substitute for silicon, to at least complement its scarcity in the electronics sector. For instance, the CGY2175AUH/C1 from OMMIC is a high-performance, integrated GaAs MMIC featuring a Phase Shifter, Attenuator, and T/R Switch from 4.5 to 6.5 GHz. A 6-bit phase shifter, a 6-bit attenuator, and a T/R switch are included in this 3-port GaAs MMIC Core Chip. This C-band device was built with OMMIC's 0.18 m gate length PHEMT technology. Its on-chip series-to-parallel converter reduces the number of bond pads and makes essential chip functionalities much easier to operate.

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Market: Growth Drivers vs. Challenges

Drivers:

• MMIC in satellite communication: The optimization of size, weight, and power (SWaP) factors is a primary goal for the majority of aerospace electronics development projects. MMICs are usually the best solution for signal processing in these instances. They are rapidly being used in aerospace applications due to their low cost and high precision qualities, leading to an increase in global space programs. For example, MMICs created by the DRDO are on board the EOS04 satellite launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in February 2022. The circuits were employed in satellite radar imaging modules.
• MMIC is widely used in the automobile: Due to the fast acceptance of these devices in a wide range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies, the automotive application is expected to gain a sizable industry share. Automotive radar MMICs can enable safety-critical applications such as driver assistance and automatic emergency braking systems, driving the implementation of these circuits in automobiles.  

Challenges:

• High prices: The costs associated with designing and fabricating MMICs are significant, and the raw materials are expensive, which elevates overall manufacturing costs. Supply chain disruptions further exaggerate these factors.
