Feb. 19, 2008Advanced SOI Technology for RF Applications Short Course
By Christine Raynaud, CEA-LETI / STMicroelectronics
For RF applications, SOI offers key advantages over bulk. It provides the ability to meet very low voltage and low noise applications, allows for improvement of passive devices and improves integration capabilities to reduce cost. This short course details the considerations for RF design with SOI.

Jul. 1, 2007The Future of Connected Mobile Computing
Choice of manufacturing partner enables choice of process technology. Because silicon-on-insulator (SOI) enables higher performance and lower power than CMOS, it is the process of choice for all gaming platforms, satellite chips, ultra-low power circuits for watches and so on.

ARM has worked closely with foundry partner UMC to migrate 65nm CMOS to 65nm SOI (L65SOI). This is the first open foundry and IP offering for worldwide availability of 65nm SOI process technology. The solution comprises ARM's portfolio of standard cell library, I/O library and SRAM compiler, and UMC's manufacturing capability.
