transistor 3-d

Intel announced a breakthrough in the basic structure of the transistor, which is the microscopic block is built with modern electronics. For the first time since its invention more than 50 years, silicon transistors are built using a revolutionary design in three dimensions, called Tri-Gate, unveiled by Intel in 2002 and will begin to manufacture in large quantities by the end of this year in the 22 nanometer node (nm) on an Intel chip codenamed Ivy Bridge. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.

Tri-dimensional transistors Gate represent a fundamental shift in relation to the flat structure of the transistors in two dimensions, technology has been used not only in computers and phones, but in electronic controls for vehicles, spacecraft, electronics, medical devices among others.
