EuroSOI
The EUROSOI network embraces a broad range of research areas related to Silicon-On-Insulator technology (from materials to end-user electronic applications in traditionally strong European industrial sectors such as automotive, communications, space). EUROSOI aims at federating the existing research work on SOI topics and at providing an appropriate communication channel between academic groups and industrial production centres. EUROSOI coordination efforts will be focused on fostering different activities to improve the lack of industrial development in Europe in SOI topics. A network of research centres, industries and end-users is the appropriate tool to structure and organize the existing R&D work on SOI topics, and achieve a critical mass to efficiently close the gap between academic groups and industry, which is responsible for the weakness of European Industry with regard to SOI.

ARM
ARM® develops Silicon On Insulator (SOI) Physical IP products based on SOI CMOS technology and tuned to the processes of its foundry partners. IP design is developed using proprietary SOI design techniques and characterization tools, and a methodology that enables SoC designers to transparently integrate SOI IP in their standard ASIC/COT design flow. This transparency is enabled by compatibility with standard EDA design flows with no requirement for specialist SOI knowledge. SOI Physical IP allows designers to fully utilize the benefits of SOI to exceed the performance and power consumption benchmarks the industry demands.
