ARM Moves Into SOI

ARM Holdings, the industry’s leading provider of semiconductor IP for processors, peripherals and SoC solutions, is strengthening its physical IP portfolio by adding SOI technology.

Buys Soisic:

“SOI technology is a leading candidate to address the power and performance scaling issues associated with traditional bulk CMOS processes as they migrate to ever-smaller geometries. The acquisition of Soisic adds a new capability to our physical IP portfolio, offering the potential for significantly better optimization of performance and power consumption for our Partners.”
— Mike Muller, CTO & Director, ARM

Partners with Soitec:

“We are extremely pleased to see ARM supporting the SOI ecosystem. We look forward to partnering with them to further develop the design infrastructure that will be critical to the high-performance, low-power consumption chips that SOI enables.”
— André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, President and CEO, Soitec
