The Tri-Gate design is considered 3D because the gate wraps around a raised source-to-drain channel, called a "fin," instead of residing on top of the channel in the traditional 2D planar design.

Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit ... lower overall gate leakage. Furthermore, non-planar designs such as tri-gate ...

According to a report by system researcher and UBM Channel sister company UBM TechInsights, Intel's 3-D Tri-Gate technology and its ability to be mass produced using the 22nm process makes ...
