CEA-Leti will host a workshop on major trends in Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator process and design technologies in connection with the 17th annual LetiDays Grenoble, June 24-25.

The June 22-23 FDSOICE workshop, which will be on the MINATEC campus, brings together experts from academia, semiconductor companies, system-design houses and the EDA industry to present a vision of the strategic directions and state-of-the-art in FDSOI IC design. Specific topics cover the FDSOI food chain: applications, process roadmaps and manufacturing technologies, energy-efficient architectures and power management, circuit-design techniques, body-bias techniques, modeling, characterization and design enablement.
In addition to keynotes by Thomas Skotniki from STMicroelectronics and Prof. Boris Murmann from Stanford University, the workshop's 30 presentations will cover the whole knowledge chain and the market value chain from academia and industry. Highlights of the presentations include:
· ST, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Samsung will cover FDSOI manufacturing offers
· Ciena, ST and NXP will discuss products based on FDSOI chips
· Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, sureCore, eSilicon and Tiempo will explain their offers for FDSOI in terms of IP and EDA tools
· Prominent professors from world-class universities (ETH Zurich, University of Bologna, University of Kyoto, University of California, Berkeley) will present their innovations to design with FDSOI
· Leti will present state-of-the-art research in FDSOI and facilities available to partners willing to start design with FDSOI
