Workshop on Fully depleted SOI readiness
Organized by The SOI Industry Consortium, CEA-Leti and Soitec

When: Wednesday, December 9, 2009 - From 6pm to 9:15pm, starting with networking reception
Where: Hilton Baltimore, Holiday conference rooms 4 and 5

Complementing the technical papers and short courses presented during the IEDM conference, the workshop will be devoted to SRAM scaling, design porting from bulk to FDSOI, BSIM models, the results of porting an ARM core to SOI and TCAD with an outlook towards the specificities for FDSOI.

The workshop will provide a comprehensive review of the current state of technology presented by renowned experts in the field: IBM, LETI, UC Berkeley and ARM.

FD SOI architecture, technology platform for Low Power applications for 22nm and beyond
We have the honour to invite you on an ad-hoc workshop “FD SOI architecture, technology platform for Low Power applications for 22nm and beyond”. This workshop will be held on October 16, 2009 in IMEC.

The development of fully depleted SOI has gained strong momentum in recent years. Although initially FinFETs appeared to be a preferred FDSOI architecture, recent major advances in planar FDSOI devices are strongly positioning this technology towards an interception of the 22/20nm node for Low Power applications. From a design perspective, planar FDSOI is an evolutionary approach that is easier to implement than FinFETs. FDSOI CMOS has proved to reduce the Vt variability by 50-60%, makes possible the smallest SRAM cell operated at Vdd=0.5V with an excellent SNM, reduces Ioff by orders of magnitude and preserves a target performance at a cost per die that is comparable or lower than the equivalent bulk.

This workshop on SOI technology, sponsored by the SOI Consortium and IMEC, for the first time addresses in one day the entire ecosystem that will be necessary to bring the FDSOI technology to industrial maturity and widespread adoption. In the morning session, the technology options for FDSOI CMOS architecture will be discussed, and the afternoon will be devoted to SRAM scaling, the porting of an ARM core to PDSOI and TCAD with an outlook towards the specificities for FDSOI. The workshop provides a comprehensive review of the current state of technology presented by renowned experts in the field.
