RE:tri-gate

AMD has been working on the same thing.

Sunnyvale, CA -- December 9, 2003 --At the 2003 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in Washington, DC, AMD (NYSE:AMD) provided additional detail on its revolutionary next-generation silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistor design, while also providing new information on its successful use of SOI technologies in its current microprocessors.

Unique Multi-Gate Design
AMD’s new transistor design uses three gates, instead of one as in today’s transistors, and incorporates several innovations that allow for continued transistor gate scaling down to 20 nm and below, while providing increased speed and decreased electrical leakage. Further, AMD’s transistor is not dependent upon the use of so-called “high-k” gate dielectric materials, which have been shown to have negative effects on some aspects of transistor performance.

“We have taken a structural approach that utilizes conventional materials in new ways to provide a demonstrated solution at the 20 nm gate dimension. This is the kind of innovation required to drive technology advancement well into the next decade,” stated Lin.
