"AMD Reports Very Small Breakthrough

- September 12, 2002
Chipmaker AMD has claimed a breakthrough that could lead to a chip with one billion transistors.
The company said that it had manufactured the smallest double-gate transistors to-date, using industry-standard technology.
Double-gate transistors could create a chip that holds a billion tiny transistors instead of the 100 million currently used.
AMD explained that its laboratory demonstration of a 10-nanometre Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) is the outcome of collaborative research between AMD and the University of California.
The pair will present a paper, entitled FinFET Scaling to 10nm Gate Length, at the International Electron Devices Meeting held in San Francisco in December.
Intel said yesterday that it is already developing a processor for server computers that will have about a billion transistors.
