Silicon-on-insulator wafer supplier Soitec SA has signed an SOI wafer supply contract with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. worth more than $150 million for the 2006 calendar year.
This triples the similar deal that Soitec (Bernin, France) signed for 2005 which was considered to be worth $50 million when it was announced Jan. 17, 2005.
Under the terms of the deal Soitec is set to supply AMD with both 200-mm and 300-mm diameter SOI wafers, manufactured using the Smart Cut process. Soitec has been supplying AMD with volume quantities of thin-film Unibond SOI wafers for the production of microprocessors, since at least 2001.
