October 27, 2006 – ARM and Soitec have formed a joint development partnership to support future development of silicon-on-insulator libraries, leveraging ARM’s microprocessor and physical IP to provide design tools, resources, and standards to accelerate SOI adoption.

“SOI technology will complement our existing CMOS-based physical IP by providing customers with an additional set of choices for improving performance, while conserving power, as semiconductor processes migrate to ever-smaller geometries over the next few years,” said Mike Muller, CTO of ARM, in a statement.

“We look forward to partnering with them to further develop the design infrastructure that will be critical to the high-performance, low-power consumption chips that SOI enables,” stated Andr
