The mobile telecommunications industry heavily relies on the advancements in semiconductors and it is also one of the driving factors behind it. According to IHS Technology, the worldwide semiconductor market grew by 9.2% in 2014 which is the highest annual growth rate since the 33% boom of 2010 [1]. On a similar note, the global semiconductor market is estimated to grow by a compound annual growth rate of 7.67% from 2017 to 2024 [2].
