Applications


Current SOI products

  • high speed processors
    • IBM and Motorola : Power PC(tm)
    • AMD : Athlon(tm) 64
  • Graphic processor
    • Sony/IBM/Toshiba : PlayStation3
  • High speed serial data communication
    • Mitsubishi Electric : 10Gbps SERDES
  • Ultra-low power SoC
    • OKI : solar cell watch

Future applications

    Low-power digital applications are the next target as SOI CMOS is becoming a mainstream technology and power dissipation is the main concern.

    SOI CMOS technologies are the most suitable technologies to produce RF Systems on Chip, combining the low-power advantage for the digital part and the high RF performance enabled by the full dielectric isolation of the SOI substrate and the ability to use a high-resistivity substrate (minimizing crosstalk and substrate losses).
