(PhysOrg.com) -- On May 4, 2011, Intel Corporation announced what it called the most radical shift in semiconductor technology in 50 years. A new three-dimensional transistor design will enable the ...
In 2000, the Berkeley researchers predicted that FinFET technology could be scaled down to at least 10 nanometers and estimated that it would take about 10 years for the new transistor to move into ...
The industry’s quest to continue on the semiconductor roadmap defined by Moore’s Law has led to the adoption of a new transistor structure. Whether you call them finFETs, tri-gate or 3D transistors, ...
Since the inception of the integrated-circuit (IC) industry, design metrics such as performance, power, area, cost, and time-to-market have remained the same. In fact, Moore’s law is all about ...
The next frontier in the electronics industry is the FinFET, a new type of multi-gate 3D transistor that offers tremendous power and performance advantages compared to traditional, planar transistors.
