Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

During a Q&A session at the GPU Technology Conference, Huang estimated a roughly 20% performance uplift from transitioning to ...

Consequently, the industry made the switch from 2D planar transistors to 3D fin field-effect transistors, abbreviated as FinFETs. In FinFET transistors, the gate wraps around the channel on three ...

NVIDIA's Jensen Huang said during a Q&A session at GTC 2025 that he expects GAA to be 20% better than the current FinFET technology.

The problem was addressed in the early 1990s with the Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET) - a multi-gate device that elevated previously flat circuits into the equivalent of a series of high-rise ...

SE: Starting in 2011, the industry moved from planar transistors to next-generation finFETs. Chipmakers continue to extend today’s finFET transistors at advanced nodes. Some will extend the finFET to ...

FinFET Transistor Basics A finFET — a type of field-effect transistor (FET) — can be envisioned as a traditional planar CMOS transistor turned on its side so that the gate polysilicon can interface ...

A type of 3D FinFET transistor from Intel introduced in 2011 with its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The Tri-Gate design is considered 3D because the gate wraps around a raised source-to-drain ...

Nowadays, the industry is moving from the usage of planner transistor technology due to various limitations encountered below 32nm technology node. We discuss new device structures: SOI and FinFET ...

Intel is promising a 10-15 percent increase in performance-per-watt over 10nm SuperFin, thanks to new FinFET transistor optimizations. The second node is called Intel 4, which was previously ...
