Abstract
SOI CMOS technology has been becoming another major technology for next-generation VLSI[l]-[6]. In this chapter, starting from the fundamentals of SOI, the advantages of the SOI CMOS technology are described. The applications of SOI CMOS technology for realizing VLSI digital circuits are introduced. The objectives of this book in terms of processing technology, device modeling, and circuit designs for SOI CMOS VLSI are outlined.
