Tower Semiconductor Collaborates with Renesas to Manufacture SiGe-based Beamforming ICs for Tier-1 Customers in Satcom, 5G, and Aerospace & Defense Applications
The Satcom terrestrial market is expected to grow to 150M users by 2031 according to Euroconsult with the expansion of global satellite-based internet services
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, January 16, 2024 – Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the leader in high-value analog semiconductor foundry solutions, today announced a collaboration with Renesas, leveraging Tower's high-volume and high-performance SiGe BiCMOS technology to manufacture SiGe-based beamforming ICs. This strategic collaboration underscores Renesas' commitment to innovation as its broad portfolio of beamforming products has already achieved design wins by key worldwide players across 5G, satcom and Aerospace & Defense markets, positioning the company at the forefront of the industry.
The Satcom terrestrial terminal market is growing rapidly as satellite-based internet services proliferate globally. According to Euroconsult, a market research firm, 71 million people were connected to satellite broadband services in 2022. With rapid deployment of LEO satellite constellations, this number is expected to double in 2031, reaching over 150 million users. This translates to an increase of \$400M in the average yearly TAM for SiGe wafers over the coming decade.
"The unique advantages of Tower's SiGe BiCMOS technology have empowered us to design and manufacture highly integrated and power efficient semiconductors that set new industry benchmarks," said Naveen Yanduru, VP of RF Communications at Renesas. "As evidenced by our design wins and volume shipments, the displacement of mechanical antennas by highly agile electronically steered antennas (ESAs) is well underway and will continue to drive exponential SAM growth for beamforming ICs in the coming years. With the continuously surging demand for millimeter-wave technology, our collaboration with Tower Semiconductor has positioned Renesas as a market leader," Mr. Yanduru added.
Renesas is a global leader in delivering cutting-edge solutions for the telecommunications industry and has made strides in the Satcom and 5G markets through its collaboration with Tower Semiconductor. This capability played a significant role in empowering Renesas to establish and solidify its market leadership.
"We are excited to partner with Renesas in bringing these breakthrough products to market leveraging our industry leadership in SiGe foundry technology along with their strong product development, talent and market presence," noted Dr. Marco Racanelli, President at Tower Semiconductor.
"Our global capacity and engineering agility will ensure Renesas has both the ability to develop new, high-performance products and deliver these in high-volume to their Tier 1 customers."
