Metal gates will be standard fixtures at new public rental flats under a Housing Authority U-turn. To cut costs, they had not been provided since 2003 and are not required under the Buildings ...
SAN JOSE, Calif. &#151 IMEC, a European R&D organization, Thursday (June 15) reported several breakthroughs with nickel-based, fully-silicided (FUSI) metal gates, claiming that the technology is ...
The IC industry is headed toward a new era of scaling–and uncertainty–as chip makers race to develop the key building blocks for the next-generation transistor: high-k dielectrics and metal gates.
In logic devices such as finFETs (field-effect transistors), metal gate parasitic capacitance can negatively impact electrical performance. One way to reduce this parasitic capacitance is to optimize ...
