Tri-Gate Transistor Benefits
Tri-Gate transistors are an important innovation needed to continue Moore’s Law
22
• Dramatic performance gain at low operating
voltage, better than Bulk, PDSOI or FDSOI
37% performance increase at low voltage
>50% power reduction at constant performance
• Improved switching characteristics(On current vs. Off current)
• Higher drive current for a given transistor
footprint
• Only 2-3% cost adder (vs. ~10% for FDSOI)
