TRIGATE TRANSISTOR
A SEMINAR BY

NIKHIL A RASHEED
EC7B
 INTRODUCTION
Transistors

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

TRI GATE TRANSISTORS

3-D structure

Runs faster,better perfomance

Reduces conventional transistor size

Reduces power dissipation

Increases battery life of mobile devices

 HISTORY

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
 ARCHITECTURE

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
ARCHITECTURE
 MOORE’S LAW
Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history of
computing hardware, in which the number of transistors
that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has
doubled approximately every two years.Moore's law
21st centuries precisely describes a driving force of
technological and social change in the late 20th and early.

 PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF
PLANAR AND TRI GATE TRANSISTOR
Show excellent control of short channel effects
(SCE)

Higher performance, in terms of drive current

 ADVANTAGES
Lower leakage and consume much less power.
Faster & cooler operation.
 45% increase in speed or 50x reduction in off-
current.
The basic building blocks for future
microprocessors.
Moore's Law scaling can be taken well into the
next decade .
 APPLICATIONS

Critical part of INTEL's energy efficient performance

Scaling of silicon transistors

Increase battery life of mobile devices
