This short course, led by industry experts, is designed for chip designers, technologists, and newcomers to FD-SOI platform. Participants will be introduced to the distinctive characteristics of FD-SOI transistors compared with bulk CMOS and will develop the in-depth understanding needed to design accurately and fully leverage the capabilities of this technology. A significant focus will be placed on PDK pathfinding, covering both its content and the methodology behind its development to maximise its effectiveness. The programme will also address eNVM, highlighting its advantages for specialised design strategies and showing how it complements FD-SOI.
