GF’s advanced 9SW platform to use Soitec’s
latest generation of 300mm RF-SOI wafers
Bernin (France), December 4th,
2024 — Soitec, a leader in the design and manufacture of
innovative semiconductor materials, announced today its commitment
to deliver 300mm RF-SOI substrates to GlobalFoundries (GF) for the
production of GF’s leading RF-SOI technology platforms, including
the company’s most advanced RF solution, 9SW.
Building on the longstanding relationship
between the two companies, this commitment will ensure the supply
of advanced RF-SOI engineered substrates required for 5G,
5G-Advanced, Wi-Fi, and other smart mobile device Radio Frequency
Front-End (RFFE) modules.
To support advanced connectivity, GF’s 9SW
RF-SOI platform with its superior switching, low-noise amplifiers
(LNA) and logic processing capabilities offers significant
advantages and value for premium smartphones by delivering enhanced
RF performance, improved power efficiency and scalability.
These features are critical for ensuring a superior user experience
in high-end devices.
The new Soitec RF-SOI 300mm substrate offers
significant advancements: reduced off-capacitance due to optimized
silicon thickness, enhanced and sustained power efficiency enabled
by an optimized oxide layer, and superior RF performance made
possible by Soitec’s cutting-edge RFeSITM product
family.
Manufactured using Soitec’s latest-generation
300mm RF-SOI wafers, GF’s 9SW platform delivers significant
reduction in active and standby power consumption and enables 10%
smaller products than previous platforms, for an efficiency
enhancement of more than 20% through lower on-resistance and
off-capacitance figures of merit.
“GF continues to deliver highly
differentiated, industry-leading technologies required for
essential 5G, IoT, Infrastructure and Automotive applications.
This collaboration with Soitec shows our commitment to
ensure a continuous supply of high-performance RF-SOI solutions
that meet our customers’ fast evolving needs” said Faisal
Saleem, Senior Vice President of End Markets at
GlobalFoundries.
“Soitec has established the world's largest
production capacity to meet growing demand for advanced RF-SOI
substrates supporting 5G and WiFi technologies in smartphones, as
well as future AR-VR and IoT devices. We are delighted to extend
our longstanding relationship with GlobalFoundries in developing
the next generation of 300mm RF-SOI technologies. The transition
from 5G to 5G-Advanced, and eventually 6G, requires ever-higher
performance and energy efficiency, as well as increasing
compactness for next-generation devices,” said Jean-Marc Le
Meil, Soitec Executive Vice President for Mobile
Communications.
