Getting back to SuVolta process, DDC stands for Deeply Depleted Channel transistors and claims to achieve power saving and/or speed-up in more-less standard bulk CMOS techniology:
A 4.5-min long video explains SuVolta's basic claims:
The basic claim is a reduction of transistor variability by about a factor of 2:
In theory, these ideas could bring a new life to current-mode image sensors that traditionally suffer from high PRNU due to Gm variations. The regular 3.3V transistors have stddev Gm variations of 1-2% per sq.um area, depending of the fab, process, and device type. Reducing it down to 0.5-1% per sq.um could make current mode pixel more competitive.
For those who have more time, there is also a 3-part lecture in Stanford University introducing DDC technology and comparing it with FinFET and other approaches (part 1, part 2, part 3):
