TE3 - Sub 1V CMOS: SOI or BULK? -- (Salon 8)

SOI is technicaly superior to BULK CMOS and has advantages for low power and low supply voltage. The main-stream technology for CMOS components is BULK CMOS because of unprocessed SOI wafer cost. The panel will speak and the audience will respond and judge SOI versus BULK in a democratic vote. Questions remain concerning: SOI wafer cost and production level, power versus cost, functional density, and processing complexity.

Panel:

Kristin Demeyer, KUL, IMEC, Leuven, Belgium
Jerry Yue, Honeywell, Plymouth, MN
Seiichiro Kawamura, Fujitsu, Kawasaki, Japan
Masakazu Kakumu, Toshiba, Kawasaki, Japan
Ted Houston, Texas Instruments Inc., Dallas, TX
Jean Pierre Colinge, UCL, DICE, Louvain la Neuve, Belgium
Koichiro Mashiko, Mitsubishi, Itami, Japan
Michael Alles, IBIS, Danvers, MA
Andre-Jacques Auberton-Herve, SOITEC, Grenoble, France
