AUSTIN, Texas — Researchers at the Digital DNA Laboratory of Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector claim to have made a key step forward with the finFET dual-gate transistor structure; enabling low ...

FinFET technology is seen as the answer to fabrication processes below 20 nm. However, FinFET also presents a lot of uncertainty and concern related to defect manifestation, necessary test methods, ...

When making the transition from planar devices to FinFETs, IP design challenges arise that require education and experience when dealing with the complexities. Since the inception of the ...

Massive amounts of money and effort are being spent to determine how long finFETs will last and what should replace them. In the near term, the leading-edge chip roadmap looks fairly clear. Chips ...

Imec recently unveiled strained Germanium devices based on a silicon-replacement process, a first according to the research center. The process involves growing a Ge/SiGe quantum-well heterostructure ...

The IC industry is already weeding out the candidates. In 2005, the Semiconductor Research Corp. (SRC), a chip R&D consortium, launched the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI), a group that is ...

(Nanowerk News) Bulk FinFETs are key devices for advanced technology node applications such as analog circuits and SRAMs because of a very good short channel effect control and transistor compactness.

The fact that Intel announced its 22nm technology, the world's most advanced process for manufacturing logic, at a press event earlier today was hardly surprising. The tick-tock cadence of Intel's ...

A US court has told Samsung to pay $400 million in damages after it found the company's FinFET technology infringed on a patent originally filed by a South Korean university. The Korea Advanced ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...
