For one thing, scaling today’s 16nm/14nm finFET to 10nm and 7nm is difficult. In finFETs, there are four parts that require patterning—fin; gate; metal; and via. Each part may require a different tool ...

Learn about the challenges of IP design and implementation for 7nm FinFETs. Along with the performance and area benefits that the node brings, designers must understand the significant technical ...

In the wake of the two semiconductor titans clashing, a debate between the merits of 14nm++ and 7nm has sprung up with ... comes from the switch to the FinFET process. While older planar ...

thanks to new FinFET transistor optimizations. The second node is called Intel 4, which was previously referred to as Intel’s 7nm process, and it will go into processors that will enter ...

The U.S. export controls imposed in 2022 require makers of fab tools to obtain an export license on equipment that could be used to make FinFET-based ... making chips on 7nm-class nodes.

The announcement came in the same week as Samsung gave a detailed look at its 7nm process at the VLSI Symposia ... as opposed to the more conventional FinFET (fin field-effect transistor) design.

It is developed with TSMC 7nm 0.75V/1.8V CMOS LOGIC FinFET ... IGAAFEV04A is a 500 MHz analog front-end circuit. IGAAFEV04A contains four 12 bit 250 MHz SAR 2-channel ADCs, four 12 bit 500 MHz Current ...
