STMicroelectronics sees its flavor of planar FD-SOI as an excellent response to the complex needs of mobile multimedia chips. The multi-functional system-on-chips (SOC) needed at the heart of the next generations of wireless, high-performance, low-power multimedia devices have very different needs than the mono-functional processors of the past. Traditionally, the trade-off for computers and servers …

As we approach the end of the roadmap, single gate FD SOI devices with ultra-thin BOX could pre-empt the need for double gate devices. It is well known that UTB (Ultra Thin Body) devices present improved electrostatic integrity. We were, however, among the first to report [1] on the importance of the BOX thickness with …
