finFET

A startup has analyzed the shape of Intel's fins and found the process is not quite as well-behaved as circuit designers would perhaps like.

Our first email newsletter previews next month's Common Platform Technology Forum 2012 and features exclusive interviews with senior staff at Samsung, ARM and Cadence Design Systems.

The International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) this year provided an opportunity to see how the team that was first to put a finFET or trigate-based process into action on a multi-million transistor design did it.
