UTBB FDSOI technology flexibility for ultra low power internet-of-things applications

Abstract

In this paper, we propose to analyze FDSOI technology suitability for IoT applications and more specifically for autonomous Wireless Sensor Nodes. As IoT applications are extremely diversified there is a strong need for flexible solutions not only at design and architectural level but also at technological level. Moreover, as most of those systems are recovering their energy from the environment, they are challenged by low voltage supplies and low leakage functionalities. We detail in this paper some FDSOI 28nm characteristics and results demonstrating that this technology could be a perfect option for multidisciplinary IoT devices. Back Biasing capabilities and low voltage features are investigated demonstrating efficient high speed/low leakage flexibility.
