FinFET
Semiconductor Industry is a very dynamic industry as it changes from time to time. As per Moore’s Law, the number of transistors present in a chip doubles every 18 months or 2 years. So the size of chips and electronic device get smaller and smaller. The introduction of FinFET technology in the semiconductor industry played a crucial role.
FinFET is a non-planar transistor that has replaced common planar MOSFET. The Introduction of FinFET not only overcame the challenges of common MOSFET but also helped to make the size of the electronic device compact due to its 3D and fin-shaped vertical structure. FinFET has been widely used in mobile, laptops, and IoT devices due to energy efficiency, fast switching speed, and various such advantages.
