Bulk logic designs can be ported directly to FD-SOI for high-performing, low-power mobile apps. Fully-depleted (FD)-SOI is a potential alternative to BULK 20nm. But what sort of the impact will that have on the design flow? The short answer is: very little. Designs for low-power mobile applications in 28nm bulk benefit significantly in terms of …
