Secure & Resilient SoCs for Edge AI, IoT, and Automotive — Enabled by Engineered Substrates

Abstract

Edge AI, IoT, and automotive SoCs require not just efficiency and reliability, but also robustness against security threats. Engineered substrates—such as FDSOI—provide key physical-layer benefits: low soft error rates, high-temperature tolerance, dynamic body biasing, and intrinsic isolation. These features enhance protection against fault injection and side-channel attacks while enabling secure, energy-efficient, and functionally safe system design. This talk highlights how substrate-level innovation strengthens the foundation for next-gen intelligent and connected systems.
