Riassunto

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is a semiconductor wafer technology that produces higher performing, lower power devices than traditional bulk silicon techniques. SOI works by placing a thin, insulating layer, such as silicon oxide between a thin layer of silicon and the silicon substrate. This process helps reduce junction capacitance, resulting in higher speed and lower power consumption. SOI chips can be as much as 15 percent faster and use 20 percent less power than todays silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based chips. Part one covers SOI transistors and circuits, manufacture and reliability and part two looks at applications such as memory, power devices and photonics.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is a semiconductor wafer technology that produces higher performing, lower power devices than traditional bulk silicon techniques. It can reduce junction capacitance, resulting in higher speed and lower power consumption. The technology is therefore challenging, and being incorporated into, traditional complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology (CMOS). This important book provides an overview of the developments of SOI CMOS.

The book is divided into two parts; Part I covers SOI materials and manufacture while Part II covers SOI devices and applications. In the first section, chapters introduce techniques for manufacturing SOI wafer technology, the electrical properties of advanced SOI materials and modelling short-channel SOI semiconductor transistors. Both partially depleted and fully depleted SOI technologies are considered. Chapters 6 and 7 concern junctionless and fin-on-oxide field effect transistors. The challenges of variability and electrostatic discharge in CMOS devices are also addressed. In Part II recent and established technologies are covered. These include SOI transistors for radio frequency applications, SOI CMOS circuits for ultralow-power applications and improving device performance by using 3D integration of SOI integrated circuits. Finally, chapters 13 and 14 consider SOI technology for photonic integrated circuits and for micro-electromechanical systems and nano-electromechanical sensors.

The extensive coverage provided by Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology makes it a central resource for those working in the semiconductor industry, for circuit design engineers and for academics. It is also important for electrical engineers in the automotive and consumer electronics sectors.
