Most Common Applications of SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers to start with can be traced back up to ten years or so ago where the technology shows its high frequency potential for it could extend up to a height of 500 GHz frequencies. Number one most common application is its suitability for commercial applications for instance in harsh environments. Fortunately, another Most Common Applications of SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers is in the enhancement of high-speed and radio frequency (RF). Now, strained Si and high-resistivity Si applies in the enhancement of carrier mobility and by extension, current and operation speed. The reason for this application is to minimize the RF substrate losses that may be otherwise occasionally experienced. So to wrap this up, substrate high-resistivity silicon is an auspicious substrate when it comes to mixed-signal applications and radio frequency integrated circuits.

SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers device and circuit technologies helps in low voltages operations and is dedicated for ultralow power applications. This is the true definition of improving energy efficiency because the maintenance of the allowed speed performance in ultralow power applications is guaranteed because long-life battery operations is ultimately achieved. So, as luck would have it, it is turning out that another one of the Most Common Applications of SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers is just like harvesting and using power.

How SOI FinFETs performs and the evaluation of its variability aspects is an amazing discovery because of the efficiency emitted. This is due to the isolation of the box. This cutting age application of the SOI FinFETs linked with drive current performance and device leaks. Because of the best fin definition in SOI technology, they have much lower process-induced variability.

Another Most Common Applications of SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers is in the fabrication of the (MEMS/NEMS) sensors. SOI wafers help in the simplification of the sensor designs and when it comes to the manufacturing of these MEMSINEMS sensors, their operating principles are taken into account. It is only in order if we assert that the best and reliable design and mass production of MEMS/NEMS sensors devices becomes a success with the application of SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers.

Ultrathin SOI wafers with other examples explains their presence in the nanosize devices. The ability to account for the very many interfaces and channels is the result of the acute interpretation of experimental answers which were based on new models. Probably, it would be in order if we mention these examples that also play their roles in assuring efficiency: (MOSFETs) which is a fully depleted inetal-oxide and multiple-gate and nanowire transistors.

Allowing ultra-thin Si layer transfer and stacking is the SOI wafers. It does not require a high aspect ratio otherwise known as TSV. The project is auspicious of very high density in the vertical interconnections between the active layers in 3D IC as an extension of the technology scales. The flow processes are created, customized and presented process. Wafer bonding technology, however; is the key enabler in this particular technology and only if we look at it in the perspective of SOI-based 3D IC. The above discussed and I dare say much more are the Most Common Applications of SOI (Silicon on insulator) Wafers.
