SOITEC
Company Snapshot
Company Overview
Soitec is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of silicon-on-insulator (SoI) wafers. The company is known for its proprietary Smart-Cut technology, which was developed in collaboration with the microelectronics research institute CEA-Leti. This process facilitates the placement of an insulating layer between two silicon oxide layers, enabling high-performance and low-power semiconductor devices.
Soitec has licensed its Smart-Cut technology to major companies in the silicon wafer industry, including Shin-Etsu Handotai (SEH), GlobalWafers and Simgui. In addition to silicon, Smart-Cut is used to fabricate compound semiconductor wafers. It allows multiple reuses of the donor substrate, enhances control over layer thickness and minimizes defects in the transferred layers through light-ion implantation and wafer bonding. These capabilities improve material versatility and expand the thermal operating range of devices.
