Title: SOI Technology – Fundamentals and Advantages over Convencional MOS Technology Abstract: In this presentation the basic concepts of MOS transistors implemented in SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) substrates will be presented, showing the need of this technological alternative to allow for the continuing downscaling of transistors dimensions. The main electrical characteristics of SOI transistors will be shown, comparing them to the performance of conventional MOS transistors. Examples of SOI MOSFETs application in state-of-art high performance microprocessors as well as in low power circuits will be shown. Some new architectures of MOS transistors implemented in SOI technology will also be presented. Michelly de Souza received the Electrical Engineering degree from Centro Universitário da FEI in 2002, and the M. Sc. and Ph. D. degrees in 2005 and 2008, respectively, in Microelectronics from University of São Paulo, Brazil. From September 2007 to February 2008 she was with Laboratoire de Microélectronique from Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium, working in the fabrication and electrical characterization of analog circuits with novel Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) transistors. She is currently with Centro Universitário da FEI, Brazil, as a post-doctoral researcher and professor. She is Member of IEEE EDS and SSCS, and the Brazilian Microelectronics Society. Her current interests are the electrical characterization, simulation and modeling of SOI devices, and design of analog cells using novel SOI devices.
