IS SOI CMOS A PROMISING TECHNOLOGY FOR SOCs IN HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE ?

摘要

One of the main advantages of CMOS technologies on a thin SOI film is that a high speed can be achieved while reducing overall power dissipation. Therefore, the most important market for SOI products today is high-speed microprocessor and networking. In the near future, by using high resistivity substrate (>lkOhm-cm), SOI can be also a good candidate for low power circuits integrated with analog and RF functions, thanks to reduced parasitic capacitances, high quality passives, reduced substrate losses and a better isolation.
