Jul. 1, 2007ZRAM reverses the economics of SOI - making cheaper chips
This article, published in July 2007, reasons why the zero capacitor DRAMs ("ZRAMs"), offered by Innovative Silicon Inc, more than compensate for the higher cost of SOI base wafers (versus bulk silicon wafers) and helps to reduce the cost of SOI-based chips to drop below the production cost of the same design in bulk CMOS
