Before revision: Reported benefits of SOI relative to conventional silicon (bulk CMOS) processing include: Silicon-on-insulator - SOI technology and ecosystem - Emerging SOI applications by Horacio Mendez, Executive Director of the SOI Industry Consortium, April 9, 2009 Lower parasitic capacitance due to isolation from the bulk silicon, which improves power consumption at matched performance Resistance to latchup due to complete isolation of the n- and p-well structures Higher performance at equivalent VDD.
