SHANGHAI — China is not exactly falling in love with fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) technology, but it became clear at the Shanghai FD-SOI Forum this week that the semiconductor industry in Asia is warming up to the idea.
Participants spent little time arguing over the technical merits of FD-SOI in ultra-low power products. As Sanjay Jha, CEO of Globalfoundries, told EE Times, “Nobody is challenging us on the technical validity of FD-SOI.”
Instead, they posed pointed questions on three issues: 1) Who will deliver a family of IP tailored for FD-SOI? 2) What will the ‘entry cost’ be for designing chips on FD-SOI? 3) Do FD-SOI promoters have a technology roadmap beyond 22nm node?
