Jockeying for position in the next-generation transistor race, the SOI Industry Consortium claims to have made more progress in bringing fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology for next-generation mobile products.
The consortium members-ARM, Globalfoundries, IBM, STMicroelectronics, Soitec, and CEA-Leti—have announced results of an assessment and characterization of FD-SOI, saying that the technology is viable for mobile and consumer devices at the 20-nm node and perhaps beyond. The group has demonstrated the benefits of planar FD-SOI technology for these applications based on an ARM processor.
