Strengthening research
The SOI Industry Consortium has announced that it is reinforcing its academic and research support with the additions of three prestigious universities at the forefront of SOI applied research. Stanford University, University of California, Berkeleyand Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan have all joined the consortium as academic members.
“We are very pleased to welcome Stanford, U.C. Berkeley and Ritsumeikan University. With these additions, we are expanding our excellent ecosystem of prestigious academic and research support,” says Horacio Mendez, Executive Director of the SOI Industry Consortium. “Our members in academia are key contributors in both basic and applied SOI research. Together, we can facilitate cooperation with industry and other research organizations, helping to accelerate the use of SOIin both emerging and established application fields. Conversely, academia is our gateway to the future, providing our industry with researchers and engineers who have a strong grounding in the use and advantages of SOI.”
The SOI IndustryConsortium will continue promoting cooperation between commercial members andacademia and research institutes. Representing leaders spanning the entireelectronics industry infrastructure, the SOI Industry Consortium’s membershipnow counts seven academic members and research institutes worldwide. The othersinclude Tyndall Institute, “Université Catholique de Louvain” (UCL), as well asIMEC, and Leti. The group’s expertise covers key areas such as ultra-low powerapplications, MEMS, advanced CMOS, Fully Depleted (FD) SOI, FinFETS, photonics,analog, SOC and RF applications.
The SOI Industry Consortium is open to anycompany, organization or academic institution with an interest in SOI.
