High-performance products like video game consoles, network infrastructure gear and servers demand extraordinary semiconductor technology. Significant performance and power advantages make IBM silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology an excellent choice for a wide range of performance-driven applications. For example, compared with traditional bulk CMOS technology at the 45 nm technology node, IBM testing has shown that SOI technology can potentially:
- Enhance performance by up to 30 percent, or reduce power by as much as 40 percent
- Reduce susceptibility to soft errors by up to a factor of 7 for embedded SRAMs, and dramatically more for embedded DRAMs — by as much as 250 times
Harness the benefits of SOI technology, which has already empowered generations of world class IBM servers, by tapping into an expanding ecosystem:
- The SOI Design Hub provides access to a variety of SOI design enablement resources. Explore these resources: www.cadence.com/services/Pages/soi.aspx (link resides outside of ibm.com)
- The Ready for SOI program offers the building blocks necessary for chip designers to take advantage of SOI technology for a broad array of high-performance applications. Find SOI IP: www.ChipEstimate.com/SOI (link resides outside of ibm.com)
