FinFET
1. FINFET is voltage controlled or current controlled?
FINFET is voltage controlled device as like MOSFET.
2. What are the area where FINFETs are used widely ?
FINFETs are widely used in devices like Mobile phones , laptops , smart devices like smart watches etc.
3. Why is future of FINFET is not for long time ?
The future of FINFET is not for long time as its size cannot be reduced to less than 7 – 5 nm
4. What is the direction of flow of current in FINFET ?
Current can flow in both the direction , direction depend on the types of FINFET in n-type it flow from drain to source and source to drain in P-type.
5. Can FINFET have more than one fin in same structure?
Yes , FINFET can have 2 to 4 Fins in same structure.
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.
