Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator

<p><i>Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator </i>provides an in-depth presentation of the fundamental and pragmatic concepts of this increasingly important technology. </p> <p>There are two main technologies in the marketplace of advanced CMOS circuits: FinFETs and fully depleted silicon-on-insulators (FD-SOI). The latter is unchallenged in the field of low-power, high-frequency, and Internet-of-Things (IOT) circuits. The topic is very timely at research and development levels. Compared to existing books on SOI materials and devices, this book covers exhaustively the FD-SOI domain. </p><i> <p>Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator </i>is based on the expertise of one of the most eminent individuals in the community, Dr. Sorin Cristoloveanu, an IEEE Andrew Grove 2017 award recipient "For contributions to silicon-on-insulator technology and thin body devices." In the book, he shares key insights on the technological aspects, operation mechanisms, characterization techniques, and most promising emerging applications. </p><b> <p>Early praise for <i>Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator </b>"It is an excellent written guide for everyone who would like to study SOI deeply, specially focusing on FD-SOI." --</i><b>Dr. Katsu Izumi</b>, Formerly at NTT Laboratories and then at Osaka Prefecture University, Japan </p><i> <p>"FDSOI technology is poised to catch an increasingly large portion of the semiconductor market. This book fits perfectly in this new paradigm [...] It covers many SOI topics which have never been described in a book before." --</i><b>Professor Jean-Pierre Colinge</b>, Formerly at TSMC and then at CEA-LETI, Grenoble, France </p><i> <p>"This book, written by one of the true experts and pioneers in the silicon-on-insulator field, is extremely timely because of the growing footprint of FD-SOI in modern silicon technology, especially in IoT applications. Written in a delightfully informal style yet comprehensive in its coverage, the book describes both the device physics underpinning FD-SOI technology and the cutting-edge, perhaps even futuristic devices enabled by it." --</i><b>Professor Alexander Zaslavsky</b>, Brown University, USA </p><i> <p>"A superbly written book on SOI technology by a master in the field." --</i><b>Professor Yuan Taur</b>, University of California, San Diego, USA </p><i> <p>"The author is a world-top researcher of SOI device/process technology. This book is his masterpiece and important for the FD-SOI archive. The reader will learn much from the book." --</i><b>Professor Hiroshi Iwai</b>, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan </p><b> <p>From the author </b><i>"It is during our global war against the terrifying coalition of corona and insidious computer viruses that this book has been put together. Continuous enlightenment from FD-SOI helped me cross this black and gray period. I shared a lot of myself in this book. The rule of the game was to keep the text light despite the heavy technical content. There are even tentative FD-SOI hieroglyphs on the front cover, composed of curves discussed in the book."</i> </p>
