We discuss new device structures: SOI and FinFET which replaced planner bulk transistor. Here, we first discuss the basic structure, operation and important terms related to the core unit of CMOS i.e.

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 ...

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 ...

Are FinFETs better on SOI? In a series of papers, high-profile blogs and subsequent media coverage,Gold Standard Simulations (aka GSS) has indicated that, yes, FinFETs should indeed be better on SOI.
