FinFET transistors are now in production at the major foundries, having gone from drawing board to products on the shelf in record time. FinFET adoption has been growing steadily because they deliver ...

FinFET devices were developed to address the need for improved gate control to suppress leakage current (IOFF); DIBL (drain-induced barrier lowering); and process‐induced variability below ...

The semiconductor industry faces a major change in the way that ICs are made in order to keep improving performance and density, a change that has potential ramifications for design methodologies.

Chipmakers are readying their next-generation technologies based on 10nm and/or 7nm finFETs, but it’s still not clear how long the finFET will last, how long the 10nm and 7nm nodes for high-end ...
