Abstract :
The long but successful efforts of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) community have eventually put SOI in the microelectronics roadmap. It is frequently stated that SOI is capable of expanding the predictable frontiers of bulk-silicon technology. It is even speculated that SOI transistors will be the unique survivors of the CMOS world. For this promise to materialize, both `evolutionary´ and `revolutionary´ solutions are necessary. This two-fold approach is tentatively addressed in this paper
