The magic term of SOI is attracting a lot, of attention in the design of high-performance circuits. SOI offers speed, reliability, and hardness beyond traditional technologies.
SOI's performance parameters can be attributed largely to overall capacitance reduction as well as lower SOI device leakage. This creates the ideal opportunity for implementing SOI in sophisticated IC designs operating under LP-LV conditions. The focus of this article is to present An overview of SOI technology applied to design of a special class of ultra LP-LV devices--supervisory circuits.
Basic Principles and Features of SOI
First consider the most common structure of ...
