WITH FOUNDRY OFFER AND GROWING ECOSYSTEM, SOI GAINS MOMENTUM AS A FIRM FAVORITE FOR CONSUMER AND IoT APPLICATIONS
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Latest Technology Workshop on FD-SOI and RF-SOI Coming to San Francisco This
Week
San Francisco, CA, February 26, 2015 - The SOI Industry Consortium announces
silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies gaining strong industry momentum towards
a rapidly growing SOI ecosystem with a robust foundry offer and leading fabless
players demonstrating how simple it is today to design and manufacture
integrated circuits on fully depleted SOI (FD-SOI) and radio-frequency SOI (RF-
SOI) technologies, confirming SOI as a very competitive technology platform for
fast-growing semiconductor applications.
Recent workshops organized by the consortium in Shanghai, China and Tokyo,
Japan have highlighted market momentum for SOI with technical contributions
presented by leading integrated device manufacturers (IDM), fabless
semiconductor companies, foundries, EDA vendors and circuit designers, and all
members of the global SOI ecosystem, stimulating discussions and sharing
information about competitive benchmarks, end-product results, technology
milestones and emerging applications. As evidence, the consortium points to the
solution-oriented technical papers and growing international participation at
SOI workshops, including the upcoming SOI-organized event in San Francisco
tomorrow, February 27th.
"It is important to stress that the SOI technologies, in particular FD-SOI and
RF-SOI, are best positioned to address the next big inflexion point of the IC
community known as the Internet of Things (IoT)," commented Carlos Mazure,
Executive Director of the SOI Consortium. "The SOI product and technology
platforms combine lowest power consumption and strong performance at low voltage
supply while remaining very cost competitive."
The developing IoT wave will change the way the IC industry has approached IC
development by enabling optimized "low power-performance and reduced-area"
solutions for better battery lifetime and increased functionality.
The workshop is organized by Dr. Mendez, Dr. Olivier Faynot, head of CMOS
technology at CEA-Leti, and Dr. Carlos Mazure, chief technology officer of
Soitec.
