Key Developments

Date	Approach	Development
September 2019	Product Development	Soitec announced increasing its production capacity for its piezoelectric-on-insulator (POI) substrate to meet its growing demand. The POI substrate is used in 4G/5G Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters, offers built-in temperature compensation, and allows the integration of multiple filters on a single die.
July 2019	Partnership	Soitec and Kokusai Electric Corporation expand their strategic technology partnership through an R&D collaboration at the Substrate Innovation Center.
February 2019	Partnership	Soitec and Simgui announced the enhancement of their partnership and increased the production capacity of 200mm SOI wafers in China, for future growth.
January 2019	Collaboration	Soitec expanded its collaboration with Samsung Foundry to ensure the volume supply of fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) wafers. This provided a solid foundation for both companies to strengthen the FD-SOI supply chain and guarantee high-volume manufacturing for customers.
September 2017	Agreement	GlobalFoundries and Soitec entered into a long-term supply agreement which provided a solid foundation for both companies to strengthen the FD-SOI supply chain and help ensure high-volume manufacturing.
September 2017	Expansion	Soitec launched its pilot line to produce fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) wafers in its Singapore wafer fab. This helped the company to provide multi-site FD-SOI substrate sourcing to the global semiconductor market.
