Rewriting the Technological Scenario

Chapter 677 3D Transistors

"The 3D transistor may be familiar with someone strange. In fact, this is no new concept, the earliest depleted povertell transistor we have seen in 1989, and then the multi-gate electrical crystal based on Delta technology has become an industry. An important research direction.

Like Intel As early as 2002, the 3D transistor design has been promoted to the outside, and the wind group has also begun to invest in the development of 3D transistors.

Why is so many people staring at this direction, is white, because when the size of the transistor is reduced to 25 nm or less, the traditional screen size has not been reduced, then the problem will appear.

Let's look at the big screen. "

There have been several technical analysis on the big screen. "Two-dimensional structural transistors have been applied in the last 1960s, and now use it for approaching for half a time, however, we noticed that with the length of the gate, the source And the distance of the drain is getting closer, the oxide below the gate is getting thinner, thus exacerbating the possibility of leakage.

At the same time, whether the original electron can be controlled by the source to the drain is controlled by the gate voltage, the smaller the length of the gate, the smaller the contact area between the gate and the channel, that is, the effect of the gate to the channel. The force is small.

Especially when the gate length is reduced to 20 nanometers, these problems are particularly obvious.

When the original source and the drain are high into a p-shaped structure, the passage between the source and the drain is turned into a plate shape, and the contact area between the gate and the channel is getting bigger.

In this way, even if the gate length is reduced to 20 nm or less, it is still possible to control whether the electrons can flow from the source to the drain, which can be said that the carrier channel of the multi-gate transistor is contacted to each plane. The gate control provides a better way to control the leakage current.

At the same time, due to the higher intrinsic gain and lower channel modulation effects of the multi-gate transistors, better performance can also be provided in the field of ratio circuitry, thereby reducing power consumption and lifting chip performance.

Our experimental data shows that 32 nm stereo transistors can be brought by up to 40% performance increased than 32 nm planar transistors, and the power consumption at the same performance is reduced. "

At this time, the person who was responsible for the leaders on the stage, called Yang Pei Dong.

A 3D transistor is mentioned, especially mentioned that FinFET, which is a fin field effect transistor. More people's first reaction is definitely Hu Zheng Ming. After all, Hu Zhengming has always been known as a FinFet inventor.

But in fact, FinFET is not an invented by Hu Zhengming, but a team invented, and three core characters, Hu Zheng Ming is one, and two are Jin Zhijie and Yang Pei Dong.

In order to engage in 3D transistor Meng Qian, I really have to find Hu Zheng Ming, but maybe Hu Zheng Ming is still a consultant of Taiwan's electric power from Tieweine, and the wind group has a very stiff reason in the past few years, Hu Zhengming did not accept Meng Qian. invite.

So Meng Qian went to Yang Pei Dong and Jin Zhijie. At the same time, the wind semiconductor still has a lot of top talents who dig from other places, and today's success is also the result of the team.

This Yang Pei Dong is also a magical figure, the top of the world "100 top youth inventor", "100 Chinese chemicals", "the top 100 materials scientists" in the world "three titles.

And one mentioned that Yang Pei Dong will certainly think about two words, all people who have worked with Yang Pei Dong will have less this evaluation.

However, Meng Qian and Yang Pei Dong were specially speculative at the time of private communication. The two people who were two people on this issue were effort to be positive energy, but many times like Meng Qian and Yang Pei Dong's desperate people were simply true. I really want to go. Do one thing, it seems to be desperate in the outsider, in fact, just because I want to do it.

There are two ways to promote efforts, one is to sell anxiety, one is to sell love, Meng Qian prefer the latter.

Like Hu Zheng Ming, he served in many universities and enterprises. He is only a consultant's identity in the wind semiconductor, but this project does have a great force, and finally decided to tell him.

In addition to his uniqueness in the industry, there is also a kind of self-confidence in Yang Pei Dong. It is very suitable for the main talk. Yang Pei Dong said that it is stunned, but it is true that it feels the sound of the company. "Under the company's team, 3D The transistor is finally movable from the laboratory to the market.

It can be said that this is the greatest milestone inventory in the history of transistors. It can even be said to be reinvented transistors, and we can finally say that the 3D transistor era is really coming.

The entire semiconductor industry will officially enter the 3D era, and the bottleneck of Moore's law is broken by the wind semiconductor.

The semiconductor market will usher in again and a vibrant development, I believe that at least in the next five years will be the most important technical breakthrough in the semiconductor industry.

We should be happy for the wind semiconductor, and we should be happy for the entire semiconductor industry, because the wind semiconductor has given this new hope. "

It is because Yang Pei Dong is just a consultant of the wind semiconductor, so he stands in the industry to evaluate it. It is not so violated, and such a lift makes this technological breakthrough more meaningful and value, on-site applause thundering.

At this time, Intel's Paul looked at the live body is shaking, because this honor, this should be Intel.

The world's first 3D transistor Tri-Gate from the laboratory can be marketized is Intore released on May 6, 2011.

Intel then has once again consolidated his boss in the semiconductor industry, but this is all gone, even Intel will release Tri-Gate tomorrow, Intel can only be an old second.

Paul has no way to accept this fact, even let the intelligence department to investigate the wind semiconductor to steal the technology.

Because Intel announced this technology direction in 2002, it has been considering this technology in the past 90s. At that time, the wind group has not been created.

How did Paul can't understand that the wind semiconductor actually came to hoping in the front of Intel's pre-technology, should have at least 5 years of research and development cycle gap, theoretical this is impossible.

In fact, many people in the market have this doubt, and the final conclusion is because the wind group has already determined this direction and focused on death.

When the process is still in the age of 90nm +, even Intel has not fully confirmed the future direction, because the technology has two-sided, and there is also a problem with 3D transistors.

For example, this is a little longer, because the designers who use traditional processes have to achieve the desired electrical response through fewer variables.

This aspect requires tool innovation, on the other hand, greatly enhances the design difficulty. In the process of the 3D transistor development, some people have doubt that this direction is wrong, so we continue to use a two-dimensional transistor, through material innovation and two Dimensional innovation is also a mainstream direction.

It's like when the lightning machine should not be immersed. Everyone is not sure, everyone is a little bit, but the rebirth is very certain, there is no way, Intel is still hesitating, when Meng It has already determined the direction and is alone, and the core talent is dug, everything happened.

At this time, Intel is very low, this is thinking of this technology to recover Intel in the mobile chip market, through the process leading to realize chip performance leading to the mobile chip market.

However, Intel is doing true waste in the mobile processor field. It can be said that the Once in this process, Intel has been in this process for 3 years, and Intel has said that the main purpose of this process is to go to the mobile processor. In the three years, it adds to the investment of nearly 5 billion meters, and it is not to do the mobile processor.

And this will not say it, Intel's lead in this 3 years will be gone, and I don't know if Intel can think of any way to change against the sky.

But regardless of Intel's next plan, the market may not believe in Intel, after the press conference, the market reaction is the most authentic, the British ARM stock price fell directly to 6.5%, Intel stock price fell 8.6%.

There is also a 9.8% next door.
