Soitec and Shanghai Industrial µTechnology research institute (SITRI) announce collaboration on high-performance RF-SOI technology

Bernin (Grenoble), France and Shanghai, China, June 9th, 2015 — Soitec (Euronext), a world leader
in generating and manufacturing revolutionary semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy
industries, and Shanghai Industrial μTechnology Research Institute (SITRI), a leader in “More than
Moore” technology R&D and commercialization, announced today the signature of a collaboration
agreement. The strategic partnership will enable both Soitec and SITRI to strengthen their leadership in
highgrowth wireless communications and the global market for radiofrequency (RF) applications, with a
special emphasis on the fastdeveloping Chinese RF ecosystem.

The joint collaboration announced today focuses on developing RFSOI (Silicon On Insulator)
technology using advanced circuit designs based on Soitec’s substrate materials and technologies.
“Experience shows that Soitec’s engineered substrates can optimize RFSOI technology and applications
in terms of both cost competitiveness and power efficiency. This strategic partnership will enable us to
push the limits of RF circuits and meet future connectivity needs,” said Carlos Mazure, chief technical
officer of Soitec.

“Enhancing RF signal integrity is a key focus of the mobile communications industry as it builds toward
4GLTE Advanced and 5G standards. We are excited to partner with Soitec in developing nextgeneration
SOI communication solutions. It is consistent with SITRI’s mission to create a collaborative R&D and
commercialization environment to catalyze the growth of advanced technologies,” said Dr. Charles Yang,
president of SITRI.
