Silicon-On-Insulator ( SOI )

Status
Not open for further replies.
SOI is a semiconductor wafer technology that produces higher performing, lower power (dynamic) devices than traditional bulk silicon techniques. SOI works by placing a thin, insulating layer, such as silicon oxide or glass, between a thin layer of silicon and the silicon substrate. This process helps reduce the amount of electrical charge that the transistor has to move during a switching operation, thus making it faster and allowing it to switch using less energy. SOI chips can be as much as 15 percent faster and use 20 percent less power than today's bulk complementary metal-oxide semiconductor- (CMOS-) based chips.
 

But the circuits is design on CMOS devices in SOI technology.
Only full isolation is used in SOI technology.

The principle of work of devices is not changing !!!!
