finFET

Question 1

What are two other names for finFET?

Answer 1

3D transistors (3D FET), Tri-gate FET

Question 2

What are three reasons for finFET?

Answer 2

1. Feature sizes continue to shrink, and demand for performance increases. Need to innovate current MOSFET design.
2. As the device channel length keeps shrinking, leakages between gate & bulk, and source & drain become an increasing problem.
3. Fulfill Moore’s Law.
