Semiconductors and SOI: From Bulk Wafers to Engineered Substrates

Semiconductors and SOI: From Bulk Wafers to Engineered Substrates
by Lauro Rizzatti on 11-11-2026 at 10:00 am
Categories: FD-SOI, FinFET, GAA, Semiconductor, Soitec

1. Why the substrate matters

Every transistor sits in, or on, a few hundred nanometres of crystal; the rest of the wafer is mechanical support and, often, a liability. Silicon won because it combines a moderate bandgap (1.12 eV), a native oxide (SiO2) of excellent quality, and the ability to be grown as near-perfect single crystals… Read More
