NEW FD-SOI PROGRAM HELPS DESIGNERS CREATE LOW-POWER APPLICATIONS

摘要

Grenoble-based CEA-Leti has been joined by seven partners in support of its new FD-SOI (fully depleted silicon on insulator) IC development program, called Silicon Impulse. The initiative aims to provide a comprehensive technology platform for IC design, advanced intellectual property (IP) creation, emulation and test services, along with industrial multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttles. The partners include CEI-Leti, CEI-List, STMicroelectronics, Dolphin Integration, CMP, Mentor Graphics, Coitus and Presto Engineering, who will combine their expertise and facilities for one-stop-shop services to speed development of energy-efficient products for ultra-low-power (ULP) Internet of Things (IoT), energy-efficient computing systems, and robust and reliable applications for harsh environments. The partners are also in discussion with Synopsys to join the program.
