Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator provides an in-depth presentation of the fundamental and pragmatic concepts of this increasingly important technology.

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.

Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator 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.

Early praise for Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator"It is an excellent written guide for everyone who would like to study SOI deeply, specially focusing on FD-SOI." --Dr. Katsu Izumi, Formerly at NTT Laboratories and then at Osaka Prefecture University, Japan

"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."�--Professor Jean-Pierre Colinge, Formerly at TSMC and then at CEA-LETI, Grenoble, France

"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." --Professor Alexander Zaslavsky, Brown University, USA

"A superbly written book on SOI technology by a master in the field." --Professor Yuan Taur, University of California, San Diego, USA

"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." --Professor Hiroshi Iwai, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan

From the author"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."�

Written by a top expert in the silicon-on-insulator community and IEEE Andrew Grove 2017 award recipient Comprehensively addresses the technology aspects, operation mechanisms and electrical characterization techniques for FD-SOI devices Discusses FD-SOI's most promising device structures for memory, sensing and emerging applications

This text describes a variety of electrical characterization methods, from wafer screening and defect identification to device evaluation. Each technique comes with technical information - experimental set-up, basic models, parameter extraction - that should be useful to the reader. The book offers a treatment of all aspects of the latest SOI technologies, including material synthesis, device physics, characterization, circuit applications and reliability issues. Both the academic researchers and engineers working on the SOI technology should find this book useful as a source of scientific information, practical details and references. For people planning to enter the SOI field, this book offers a coverage of the SOI technology and a presentation of the underlying concepts.

Silicon on Insulator is more than a technology, more than a job, and more than a venture in microelectronics; it is something different and refreshing in device physics. This book recalls the activity and enthu­ siasm of our SOl groups. Many contributing students have since then disappeared from the SOl horizon. Some of them believed that SOl was the great love of their scientific lives; others just considered SOl as a fantastic LEGO game for adults. We thank them all for kindly letting us imagine that we were guiding them. This book was very necessary to many people. SOl engineers will certainly be happy: indeed, if the performance of their SOl components is not always outstanding, they can now safely incriminate the relations given in the book rather than their process. Martine, Gunter, and Y. S. Chang can contemplate at last the amount of work they did with the figures. Our SOl accomplices already know how much we borrowed from their expertise and would find it indecent to have their detailed contri­ butions listed. Jean-Pierre and Dimitris incited the book, while sharing their experience in the reliability of floating bodies. Our families and friends now realize the SOl capability of dielectrically isolating us for about two years in a BOX. Our kids encouraged us to start writing. Our wives definitely gave us the courage to stop writing. They had a hard time fighting the symptoms of a rapidly developing SOl allergy.

Rapid pace of electronic technology evolution and current economic climate compel a merger of such technical areas as low-power digital electronics, microwave power circuits, optoelectronics, etc., which collectively have become the foundation of today's electronic technology.This Workshop aims at encouraging active cross-fertilization of the different "species" in this electronic planet. The WOFE2015 had gather experts from academia, industry, and government agencies to review the recent exciting breakthroughs and their underlying physical mechanisms.This Monographs includes ten invited articles; cover topics ranging from Ultra-thin silicon nanowire solar cells, to hydrogen generation under illumination of GaN-based structures and from ultrafast response of nanoscale device structures to Power device optimization.

Frontiers in Electronics contains the selected best papers presented at the Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics (WOFE-07). This meeting was the fifth in the series of WOFE workshops, and strongly reinforced the tradition of scientific quality and visionary research. The issues addressed ranged from THz and infrared electronics to nanoelectronics and photonics. The papers focused on the fabrication, characterization and applications of nanodevices; wide band gap structures; and state-of-the-art FETs. The participants also discussed the device physics and processing issues including aspects related to SOI and germanium-on-insulator technologies, TFTs, and advanced CMOS and MOSFETs. It is this cross-pollination between different but related fields that made this conference very special.This book, which goes beyond the publication of the WOFE Proceedings, includes full-length invited papers selected at the conference and reviewed by international leaders. The book is divided into four distinct sections, with the common denominator throughout being the “nano-device”, present under various metamorphoses in the wide CMOS and optoelectronics arena.Sample Chapter(s)

This book brings together 11 invited papers from the Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics (WOFE) 2013 that took place at San Juan, Puerto Rico, in December 2013. These articles present the ground-breaking works by world leading experts from CMOS and SOI, to wide-bandgap semiconductor technology, terahertz technology, and bioelectronics.WOFE is a bi-annual gathering of leading researchers from around the world, across multiple disciplines, to share their results and discuss key issues in the future development of microelectronics, photonics, and nanoelectronics.The focus of this volume includes topics ranging from advanced transistors: TFT, FinFET, TFET, HEMT to Nitride devices, as well as emerging technologies, devices and materials.This book will be a useful reference for scientists, engineers, researchers, and inventors looking for the future research and development direction of microelectronics, and the trends and technology underpinning these developments.

Frontiers in Electronics is divided into four sections: advanced terahertz and photonics devices; silicon and germanium on insulator and advanced CMOS and MOSHFETs; nanomaterials and nanodevices; and wide band gap technology for high power and UV photonics. This book will be useful for nano-microelectronics scientists, engineers, and visionary research leaders. It is also recommended to graduate students working at the frontiers of the nanoelectronics and microscience.
