Cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits are specialized semiconductor devices designed to function at extremely low temperatures, typically below 77K (-196°C), and often close to absolute zero. These circuits are crucial for applications in deep-space exploration, low-noise signal processing, and superconducting electronics. Cryogenic CMOS circuits offer enhanced energy efficiency, reduced thermal noise, and superior performance in environments that require ultra-low temperatures, such as in cryogenic computing and astrophysics research.
The primary types of cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits include digital circuits, analog circuits, and mixed-signal circuits. Digital circuits use discrete binary signals (0s and 1s) to execute high-speed, reliable data processing. Cryogenic CMOS technology improves efficiency by reducing power loss and maintaining signal integrity at low temperatures. These circuits find applications in fields such as quantum computing, high-performance computing, specialized sensors, and neuromorphic computing. The main users of cryogenic CMOS circuits include research institutions, technology firms, and government organizations.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the cryogenic CMOS market by increasing the cost of semiconductor components, precision cooling equipment, and specialized fabrication materials, particularly affecting digital and mixed-signal circuits. Regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, which are key hubs for research and manufacturing, face higher production costs and supply chain delays. While tariffs have posed challenges for cost-sensitive applications like research institutions and technology companies, they have also encouraged local sourcing, investment in domestic manufacturing, and innovation in energy-efficient and cost-optimized cryogenic CMOS solutions.

The growth of satellite communications is expected to significantly propel the cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits market. Satellite communications use artificial satellites to transmit and receive signals for data, voice, and video communication over long distances, enabling wireless connectivity between ground-based transmitters and receivers through satellites in orbit. The demand for satellite communications is primarily driven by the need for reliable, high-speed connectivity in remote and underserved areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited or unavailable. Cryogenic CMOS circuits enhance satellite communications by improving signal sensitivity, reducing thermal noise, and enabling efficient data transmission, which supports the growing demand for advanced space-based communication systems. For example, in September 2024, a report published by Advanced Television, a UK-based media company, revealed that Starlink (a satellite-based internet service) grew its subscriber base from 1 million users in December 2022 to over 4.6 million by the end of 2024. The service doubled its user base to 2 million by September 2023, reached 3 million by May 2024, and surpassed 4 million by September 2024. Therefore, the expansion of satellite communications is driving the growth of the cryogenic CMOS circuits market.
Companies operating in the cryogenic CMOS circuits market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as CMOS transistors, to enhance performance at ultra-low temperatures, reduce power consumption, and support advanced applications such as quantum computing and satellite communications. CMOS transistors are key components in modern electronic circuits, particularly in CMOS technology. For instance, in November 2024, SemiQon Technologies Oy, a Finland-based quantum hardware company, launched the first CMOS transistor optimized for cryogenic temperatures (1 Kelvin or below), marking a significant advancement in scalable quantum computing. This transistor features 1,000 times lower heat dissipation and 0.1% of the power consumption compared to standard transistors while being compatible with existing CMOS manufacturing processes. Initially targeting custom quantum chips, SemiQon plans to expand into standard products for broader markets such as high-performance computing (HPC) and space systems. This breakthrough addresses a key challenge in quantum computing by enabling efficient, low-power cryo-CMOS control electronics.
