NVIDIA joins the SOI Industry Consortium
The company joins the
SOI Consortium as a twenty third member which is open to any company, organisation
or academic institution with an interest in SOI.
The SOI Industry Consortium announced that NVIDIA, a
provider of visual computing technologies, has joined the organisation. The SOI
Industry Consortium, which was formed in October 2007 by a group of leading
companies from across the electronics industry, is aimed at accelerating
silicon on insulator (SOI) innovation into broad markets by promoting the
benefits of SOI technology and reducing the barriers to adoption.
NVIDIA serves the entertainment and consumer market, the professional design and visualisation market, as well as the high performance computing market. Their products are transforming visually rich and computationally intensive applications such as video games, film production, broadcasting, industrial design, financial modelling, space exploration, and medical imaging.
NVIDIA brings the SOI Consortium membership to twenty three companies. Other members include: AMD, Applied Materials, ARM, Cadence Design Systems, CEA-Léti, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Freescale Semiconductor, IBM, Innovative Silicon, KLA-Tencor, Lam Research, Magma Design, Samsung, Semico, Soitec, SEH Europe, STMicroelectronics, Synopsys, TSMC, Tyndall Institute, UCL and UMC.
“NVIDIA is pleased to join the SOI Consortium. We are looking forward in participating on the advancement of such an innovative technology and its applications to future products," said John Chen, VP, Technology and Foundry Operations at NVIDIA.
“We are honoured to partner with NVIDIA. Their unique insight and perspectives as the world leader in visual computing will be very valuable in articulating the technology direction of the consortium,” says Horacio Mendez, executive director of the SOI Industry Consortium. “NVIDIA’ s entry into the SOI Industry Consortium supports the momentum we are gaining throughout the electronics industry from end users and enablers to suppliers and manufacturers,” added Mendez.
