Ongoing since 2002, the MEDEA+ T206 CMOS SOI project is scheduled to finish up this September.
The objective is: “…to evaluate, design and manufacture a family of CMOS silicon-on- insulator (SOI) circuits for low-power portable, radio frequency (RF) wireless and high-speed applications to compete with more expensive CMOS and bipolar CMOS (BiCMOS) devices.”
The program, lead by STMicroelectronics, has over 25 partners. For more information, see www.medeaplus.org/web/downloads/profiles/T206_profile.pdf •
