22FDX: A Technology Alternative to the Mainstream Optimized for IoT Applications

ABSTRACT


Serving the new trend in semiconductor industries to connect everything with everything, computing power does not matter as much as low leakage and/or low dynamic power at low cost.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES offers a technology with less complexity than FinFET, same gate length scaling enabled by fully-depleted channels, but with additional features like back-gate biasing which perfectly suits the IoT market needs.

Back-biasing is unique to FDSOI technologies and provides an additional degree of freedom to circuit and chip designers. Prominent examples for back-biasing utilization are extremely low Vdd operation and chip-level global corner trimming, static by OTP or eFuse as well as dynamic for power and temperature compensation.

This talk will give an overview on technology capabilities and features.
