Intel Fellow explains 3D transistor invention

Intel Fellow Mark Bohr explains how Intel has succeeded in continuing Moore's law by inventing a 3D transistor. The clip features some nice size references and a super-evil shrink ray.

Retroactive future dupe! I just went to post this. If I can prove you posted this in the past with intention of duping an uposted post from the future, then this is obviously a dupe from the future!

There is no telling what kind of yield they will get on these. The transistors require about 5% more area, and the previous transistor design has been perfected for many many many years.

The huge advantage is less leakage current, maybe less capacitance for switching.

It's interesting that this technique was sort of used for memory where they used the 3D well shape to get more capacitance in the same area.
