SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Hoping to beat IBM, Intel, TSMC and others to the punch, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. here today announced it has fabricated the world's smallest double-gate transistors–based on a ...

Researchers are making progress in developing new types of transistors, called finFETs, which use a finlike structure instead of the conventional flat design, possibly enabling engineers to create ...

Chipmakers are currently ramping up 16nm/14nm finFET processes, with 10nm and 7nm just around the corner. The industry also is working on 5nm. TSMC hopes to deliver a 5nm process by 2020.

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 ...

As the digital semiconductor manufacturing process moves into the FinFET era, more and more front-end-of-line (FEOL) defects are observed due to extremely small feature size and complex manufacturing ...

Semiconductor chips have been getting smaller and smaller every year since the 1960s, with double the number of transistors fitting into the same chip space each year following the predicted ...

We're about to enter a very unique era in the world of silicon fabrication. The currently-used FinFET transistors have been in use since 2011, but as nodes continue to shrink they will need to be ...

TSMC 3nm process node is the best FinFET technology and TSMC dominates semiconductor chip fabrication with higher transistor density, better yields on a mature technology and broad adoption by clients ...

the scaling of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si MOSFETs) and evolution of novel structure transistors in accordance with Moore’s Law, especially for modern ...
