In this paper, a 5nm FinFET flow was built using the SEMulator3D virtual fabrication platform. Different STI (shallow trench isolation) recess profiles were investigated using the pattern-dependent ...

The semiconductor industry is still in the early stages of the finFET era, but the transistor technology already is undergoing a dramatic change. The fins themselves are getting a makeover. In the ...

(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.

A start up has found a way to use traditional semiconductor processing techniques to make finFETs that it claims will perform better than those currently produced at Intel and TSMC. The devices can ...

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 ...

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.

imec has presented a tungsten (W) buried power rail (BPR) integration scheme in a FinFET CMOS test vehicle, which does not impact the CMOS device characteristics. Using this week's 2020 Symposia on ...

LONDON — Reverse engineering and analysis consultancy ChipworksInc has posted microscopecross-sections of parts of the 22-nm Ivy Bridge processor from Intel that hasrevealed that the FinFETs, which ...

ARM and TSMC have announced the first asynchronous big.LITTLE chip taping out on 16nm FinFET, but full production is still some time away. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens ...
