Planar to FinFET to Nanosheet to Complementary FET to 2D

The Future of the Transistor Planar to FinFET to Nanosheet to Complementary FET to 2D Dylan Patel and Afzal Ahmad Feb 21, 2023 69 7 Share The fundamental component of any chip is the transistor, which recently celebrated its 75 th birthday. Today we will discuss the next 25 years. Transistors are essentially switches for electrical current; a voltage that is applied to its “gate” can cause a current to flow in the channel between its “source” and “drain.” Each transistor can turn on or off, corresponding to a “1” or “0.” Driven by Moore’s Law scaling and improvements in CMOS process technology
