CEA-Leti and Dolphin Design announce FD-SOI breakthrough CEA-Leti and Dolphin Design have announced the development of an adaptive back-biasing (ABB) architecture for FD-SOI chips.
This new architecture can be seamlessly integrated in the digital design flow with industrial-grade qualification, overcoming integration drawbacks of existing ABB techniques.
Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FD-SOI) is a technology that allows the biasing of the transistorâs body that acts as a back gate. Unlike conventional bulk technology, it enables a wide voltage range of the body bias which permits compensating for process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations by controlling the threshold voltage.
In switch operations, for example, when the switch is on, the body bias is changed to reduce the on-resistance by reducing threshold voltage and allowing more current to pass. That accelerates the circuit. In the off state, the body bias is changed to raise the of
It s Time to Look at FD-SOI (Again)
By Eric Hong, Mixel and Nik Jedrzejewski, NXP EETimes (January 21, 2021)
The emergence of FD-SOI, (fully depleted silicon-on-insulator) and its subsequent maturity over the years, has made it one of the seminal process advancements for low power semiconductor design. Although not as prevalent as the mainstream bulk CMOS process, FD-SOI has provided an important set of benefits to semiconductor product designers. These advances intersect with market demands for devices with more intelligence and better connectivity.
Envisioning and developing these new products require the support of an entire ecosystem. It is important to appreciate the investment necessary to build an ecosystem to support a process like FD-SOI. Although the choice of foundry, process technology, or silicon IP is not a concern of the consumer using such devices, it is of critical concern to those of us who need to build these products.
