Microscopic, silicon-based switches
Fundamental building block of all semiconductor chips.
With traditional planar transistors, electronic signals travel as if on a flat, one-way road.
Transistors shrink to less than 30 nanometers
3-D structure
Runs faster,better perfomance
Reduces conventional transistor size
Reduces power dissipation
Increases battery life of mobile devices
TRI GATE TRANSISTORS

1950s- planar transistors acted as the basic building block of microprocessors.
2002 -Intel developed the world’s first CMOS tri-gate transistors.
Performance improved by integrating the tri-gate design with silicon process technology
Tri- gate transistors are expected to replace the nanometer transistors in the Intel microprocessors by 2012
A R C H I T E C T U R E
Built on an ultra-thin layer of fully depleted silicon
Raised source and drain structure
Compatible with the future introduction of a high K gate dielectric
Show excellent DIBL
Thickness requirement of the Si layer is also relaxed by about 2-3 times
