Advantages of FinFET Over Traditional MOSFET FinFET, a type of transistor acting as both an amplifier and switch, offers significant advantages over traditional planar MOSFETs. Unlike the flat design in conventional transistors, FinFET features fin-shaped source and drain terminals that allow for more compact designs. This unique structure enables higher transistor density on chips while reducing chip area, power consumption, leakage current and increasing device speed.
Design Flexibility with Fin-Shaped Transistors The vertical fin shape in FinFETS allows multiple sources or gates to be designed side by side efficiently using single substrates. This flexibility supports creating numerous transistors simultaneously without compromising performance or space efficiency. As a result, devices utilizing this technology achieve high-speed operation with reduced energy usage due to minimized chip size.
