<Yea....really. The funny thing is that for very high speed logic on PD SOI, one tries to control (modulate) the degree of body charging by carefully engineering the junctions to leak a controlled amount of charge. Obviously, for this application, one wants to maintain that body charge as long as possible. And...of course, both techniques could be applied on the same chip. Great innovation if this thing pans out.> Another funny thing is that Intel, after ridiculing SOI for years, now saying that they only ridiculed PD SOI. According to Intel FD SOI is the "correct" SOI, because it lacks the floating-body effect. Now it looks like the floating-body effect can be used to build super dense and super fast caches. I wonder if they will eat their words again soon? Kap
