The role of capacitors in modern electronics ranges from filtering out unwanted signals and delaying voltage fluctuations, to storing electric charges. The dielectric material used in capacitors is the workhorse upon which their specific application in an electronic circuit is decided. Silicon is gaining immense popularity as a capacitor dielectric material, owing to its high temperature stability and low failure rates, in various electronic devices.
High-density capacitors with silicon-based dielectrics, such as silicon nitride and silicon dioxide, are witnessing high demand across broad-ranging industrial applications, underlining the positive prospects of the silicon capacitors market.
In addition, a mounting number of end-use industries have identified their potential in the miniaturization of electronic devices, and this has opened up new avenues of growth for silicon capacitors in diverse applications. A new study published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) dives deep into the changing business strategies of the leading manufacturers and distributors in this market, to divulge winning imperatives for stakeholders and investors in the silicon capacitors landscape.

- Silicon Capacitors to Get their Second Wind from the Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor Shortage
Silicon capacitors hitherto have witnessed strong competition from multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs), especially in high-frequency applications. A rise of nearly 8% was recorded in the global sales of silicon capacitors; sales increased from around 1.6 billion units in 2017 to over 1.7 billion units in 2018. However, end-use industries are in a dither with a worldwide shortage of MLCCs, as they are an essential component in most electronic devices.

- Immense Potential for Miniaturization Triggers Scope in Versatile Applications
As the electronics industry is converging with a broad range of other industrial verticals, such as automotive, healthcare, and telecommunication, the miniaturization trend is becoming ubiquitous. The growing penetration of miniaturized electronic devices is expected to create high demand for capacitors with thinner dielectric film than ever, which is likely to rapidly multiply the sales of silicon capacitors in the coming years.
The market for miniaturized electronic devices is growing by leaps and bounds, and this is generating tremendous sales potential for silicon capacitors in a wide range of end-use industries, especially in the telecommunication industry. Nearly 4 out of the 10 silicon capacitors sold across the world are used in telecommunication devices.
The demand for miniaturized, thin-film transmission lines with high RF (radio frequency) performance has reached new heights, and thereby, the telecommunication industry is expected to account for a significant revenue share of the silicon capacitors market in the coming years.
