SOI -- Technical Advantages
|
|
Technical Advantages of SOI wafers are:
- 20% to 50% increase in switching speed compared
to similar circuits built on conventional “bulk” silicon
wafers
- Ability to operate at lower voltages (less battery power
drain and chip heating)
- Reduction of the need for error correction operations
in high-speed servers and memory arrays operating in
environments prone to cosmic ray particle showers
- Increased circuit packing density due to simplification
of the lateral and vertical isolation structures,
increasing chip yield and die count per wafer
