Following in the footsteps of Applied Materials
in February, Magma Design Automation has joined the SOI Industry
Consortium as a technical member, bringing the total number of members
of the organization to 21. The Consortium was established in October
2007 with the aim of furthering the adoption of SOI-based technology.
"We welcome Magma's participation in the SOI Industry Consortium,"
said André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, Chairman of the SOI Industry
Consortium Board. "With Magma's expertise in developing design tools
that address the low power, complexity and high-performance
requirements of SOI-based chips, there is a natural convergence of
interests with the consortium. The widening availability of tools and
services is good news for designers in the fabless/foundry arena
considering the move to SOI."
The list of SOI Consortium members
is as follows: AMD, Applied Materials, ARM, Cadence Design Systems,
CEA-Leti, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Freescale
Semiconductor, IBM, Innovative Silicon, KLA-Tencor, Lam Research, Magma
Design Automation, NXP, Samsung, Semico, Soitec, SEH Europe,
STMicroelectronics, Synopsys, TSMC and UMC.
