”While 16/14nm FinFETs are about to enter volume production at the major foundries, the next generation transistors suitable for 7nm CMOS and below are already on the drawing board,” says Asenov, “one of the best candidates “Gate all around” transistors, better known as nanowire transistors (NWT), have superior scaling properties compared to FinFETs and can be scaled to channel lengths of approximately 5nm. ”
