28nm FD-SOI: A Unique Sweet Spot Poised to Grow
I have been silently watching STMicroelectronics pursuing FD-SOI technology since quite a few years. FinFET was anyway getting more attention in the semiconductor industry because of several factors involved. But from a technology as well as economic perspective there are many plus points with FD-SOI. I remember my debate, two years ago, with an IP provider for choosing between FD-SOI and FinFET for some of his IP blocks. Although we were more positive towards FD-SOI the debate was inconclusive at that time, but today the 28nm FD-SOI technology node stands to win as the best value added proposition for the emerging markets such as IoT, automotive, consumer, mobile, and so on. To expand the FD-SOI technology ST has also signed strategic licensing of their 28nm FD-SOI technology with other foundries including Samsung and GLOBALFOUNDRIES. Samsung entered into licensing agreement with ST for manufacturing collaboration on 28nm FD-SOI in mid 2014.
