finFET

A comprehensive guide to parasitics, how to perform parasitic extraction and the latest technologies available for this critical task.

Insights from research into reliability at Imec led to self-learning chips, security technologies, and finFET biosensors.

FinFET processes and libraries are maturing, enabling designers to explore the best ways to take advantage of the capabilities of the new transistor design

Multi-patterning, finFETs and more are forcing more detailed overhauls of P&R software at each process node. We dig into some of the key new issues and how they are being addressed.

Dr Walden Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics, opens a two-part analysis by looking back at the dominant design and business trends in 2015.

In sessions at the 2015 Design Automation Conference, engineers who had worked on finFET-oriented projects revealed how the technology has changed their design practices and where others may want to think twice about making the move.

FinFETs present a number of problems with respect to dynamic power consumption. Design techniques are being re-evaluated to deal with the issue.

FInFET memories have different defects than those based on planar transistors. Here's how to test and repair them.

ARM and TSMC used an extensive pre-planning process, including a static analysis of each module's overall logic structure, to put together a 2.3GHz processor design based around ARM's main 64bit Big.Little pairing for the foundry's 16nm finFET process.

How EDA tools are evolving to make it possible to design with finFET processes.
