Abstract :
Different types of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) devices are described and their respective properties are compared. SOI technology is currently becoming mainstream in the field of low-voltage, low-power electronics, where supply voltages as low as 0.5 volt are used. SOI devices and substrates can be optimized to operate at gigahertz frequencies, which makes them a technology of choice for portable telecommunication systems. Some advanced SOI devices are discussed as well
