The use of FinFET devices in next-generation high-performance, low-power designs is a fundamental shift that is happening in the semiconductor industry. These devices through their smaller sizes, ...

The emergence of FinFET transistors has had a significant impact on the IC physical design and design-for-test flows. The introduction of FinFETs means that CMOS transistors must be modeled as ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. &#151 Freescale Semiconductor Inc. and the University of Florida claim that they have created the world's first double-gate transistor model. The double-gate transistor is also called ...

When making the transition from planar devices to FinFETs, IP design challenges arise that require education and experience when dealing with the complexities. Since the inception of the ...

The size and performance advantages of FinFETs are leading to a general industry adoption of these 3D transistors at the more advanced technology nodes. These complex transistors, however, exacerbate ...

The next frontier in the electronics industry is the FinFET, a new type of multi-gate 3D transistor that offers tremendous power and performance advantages compared to traditional, planar transistors.

Achieving system-on-chip (SoC) timing closure is a major obstacle in the FinFET era. Even though designers can now use faster transistors that consume and leak less power than before, FinFET ...
