Purdue University researchers are making progress in developing a new type of transistor that uses a finlike structure instead of the conventional flat design, possibly enabling engineers to create ...

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 ...

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 ...

How does a nanosheet transistor compare with a FinFET? Issues involved in developing and manufacturing nanosheet transistors. Benefits of adopting nanosheet transistors in chip design. It’s the end of ...

At the recent 2018 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), TSMC and National Tsing Hua University presented a paper on an ion detector or pH sensor based on a 16nm finFET technology.
