Riding High On Soi

摘要

Quietly but steadily, Toyota has lead the industry in the use of SOI-based chips in key automotive applications. A few years ago, Toyota published a paper entitled "Multi-Voltage SOI BiCDMOS for 14V & 42V Automotive Applications" (Kawai et al, ISPSD Proceedings, 2004), in which researchers presented the company's new technology for high-power, high-voltage automotive applications. Toyota had developed this SOI-based technology to answer the growing list of requirements for electronic control units (ECUs), which help create more environmentally friendly, safer and more comfortable automobiles.
