FinFETs, Analog Circuits, and Your Next System Design
Ron Wilson, Editor-in-Chief, Altera Corporation
Everyone is talking about FinFETs—arguably the biggest change in transistors since commercialization of the MOSFET in the 1960s. And nearly everyone—except perhaps enthusiasts of fully-depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI)—accepts that beyond the 20 nm node, FinFETs are the future of SoCs. But what does that future hold for a system developer who will use these SoCs? The best way to answer that question may be to find out what FinFETs will mean to circuit designers—analog and digital—and then to SoC designers. From this information we can infer what FinFETs will mean at the system level.
