45 nm SOI and Beyond - Getting to a General Purpose Technology

SOI technology has taken power/performance benefits of CMOS beyond those of bulk-CMOS technology in the arena of high-performance applications, including 4.7 GHz dual core Power 6 IC, PowerPC, and game processors. At the 45 nm node we have expanded the menu of devices offered in SOI technology to include general purpose applications, including ASICs and low power products. A spectrum of memory solutions, including high-performance SRAM, high-density SRAM, and very high-density/low-power embedded DRAM provide great flexibility.
