SOI finfets will scale to 11nm, according to Professor Asen Asenov, which means they will be useful for at least three generations of process technology. “When you introduce a new device architecture ...
When GlobalFoundries bought IBM's semiconductor business two years ago, it signed a number of agreements to continue to manufacture IBM hardware and to provide facilities that would meet IBM's ...
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 ...
Semiconductor Engineering sat down to compare the benefits, risks and challenges of moving to finFETs compared with fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) with Philippe Magarshack, group vice ...
Leading Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafer manufacturer Soitec published an updated roadmap today, detailing how it plans to make fully-depleted SOI technology (FD-SOI) available through the 14nm ...
Recently, the SOI Consortium held its annual Silicon Valley Symposium. At one of the first sessions I attended, Dan Hutcheson of VLSI Research updated the work that he presented at the same event a ...
Those organisations trying to make fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) technology a realistic alternative to FinFETs have sketched out a roadmap intended to broaden its appeal. Included is ...
Silicon scaling has never been simple, but it has at least been predictable for 40 years. But forthcoming processes have changed that dramatically. Instead of being cheaper on a per-transistor basis, ...
LONDON – Fully depleted FinFET style transistors made on SOI wafers are likely to allow between half and one-third the leakage current of FinFETs made on bulk silicon according to TCAD simulations ...
Wafer maker Soitech has announced a new fully depleted silicon wafer which, the company claims, makes it considerably easier and cheaper to build semiconductors using 3D transistors. While Intel is on ...
When GlobalFoundries bought IBM's semiconductor business two years ago, it signed a number of agreements to continue to manufacture IBM hardware and to provide facilities that would meet IBM's ...
There are three reasons why FD-SOI is a better way to go than finfet, says Horacio Mendez, director of the SOI consortium. The first is obvious: “You can’t say a 3D transistor is cheaper or easier to ...
