Silicon on insulator (SOI) technology refers to the use of a layered silicon–insulator–silicon substrate in place of conventional silicon substrates in semiconductor manufacturing, especially microelectronics, to reduce parasitic capacitance within the device, thereby improving performance. SOI-based devices differ from conventional silicon-built devices in that the silicon junction is above an electrical insulator, typically silicon dioxide or sapphire (these types of devices are called silicon on sapphire, or SOS). The choice of insulator depends largely on intended application, with sapphire being used for high-performance radio frequency (RF) and radiation-sensitive applications, and silicon dioxide for diminished short-channel effects in microelectronics devices. The insulating layer and topmost silicon layer also vary widely with application.
FD-SOI uses an ultra-thin layer of silicon over a buried oxide as a means to reduce leakage and variation in chips. FDSOI also boasts a back-bias feature.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology itself refers to the use of a layered SOI substrate in place of a conventional bulk substrate. Fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) relies on an ultra-thin layer of an insulator, called the buried oxide. This is placed on top of the base silicon. There is no need to dope the channel. This, in turn, makes the transistor fully depleted. One knock on FD-SOI is the cost. SOI substrates are more expensive than bulk CMOS wafers.
