This SOI Designer News Letter highlights what was new in the SOI designer world within the 4 last months as identified by D&R.

It aims at creating a live SOI Ecosystem with a worldwide attention thus attracting more and more FDSOI designers leading to successful SOI products on the market.

Research Data are results of KDT JU (Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking) EU projects namely Ocean 12 and Beyond 5. News and IP data have as source D&R News center from Design-Reuse.

All Data reported here can be found at https://www.soi-forum.com/

In order to be comprehensive in our innovation reporting the participation all members of this ecosystem is key. So please send us recent missing data and more important any contributions (blog, white paper, ...) you would like to share with this community. Contact us
