Soitec Receives Multimillion-Dollar Order From Advanced Micro Devices


Why is AMD buying SOI wafers? Can't they make them on their own?

"BERNIN, France, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Soitec, the leading manufacturer of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers for use in semiconductor manufacturing, today announced that Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD - news) has placed a multimillion-dollar order for 200 mm UNIBOND® SOI wafers, manufactured using Soitec's proprietary Smart Cut® technology. The order is the largest in Soitec's history, both in number of wafers and in dollar amount. AMD plans to use the Soitec-enabled wafers to manufacture its recently announced ``Hammer'' family of next-generation microprocessors, incorporating complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based, partially depleted SOI circuits."
