Abstract :
Encouraged by the promising results of SOI device-based studies, CMOS on SOI has recently been suggested for the low power digital applications. In this paper, the crucial effects of SOI device characteristics on switching circuits is investigated, and the relative merits of SOI and bulk devices for circuit applications are compared. As a result, the impact of the floating body on SOI circuit performance and the related device solutions are discussed.
