FDX™ FD-SOI

A signature platform offering best in class performance.

GF’s proprietary FDX™ process technology platform, based on fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator technology, is incredibly well-suited for efficient single-chip integration of digital and analog signals, delivering cost-effective performance for connected and low-power embedded applications. In addition, a full range of features such as ultra-low-power, ultra-low leakage, RF and mmWave, embedded  non-volatile memory  and automotive qualification makes the FDX process technology platform especially well-matched for IoT/wireless, 5G (including mmWave), automotive radar, and satellite communications applications.
