New Textbook on FD-SOI Circuit Technology from Springer
31 of Japan’s leading SOI experts explain design for ultra-low-power applications
Leading experts expect the next-generation of device technology for ultra-low-power applications to be based on FD (fully-depleted) SOI MOSFETs. For circuit designers and university students who would like to learn about FD-SOI design, and get a basic understanding of the material technology and device physics, 31 experts from Japan have written a new textbook. It provides examples of unique circuit designs for ultra-low-power applications, as well as a brief history of SOI material technology and the basic operational mechanism of FD-SOI MOSFETs.
