Build with Leading-Edge Manufacturing Process Technologies
Capitalize on Intel’s legacy of delivering consistent innovation that continues today with Intel Foundry Services (IFS).
Explore Our Advanced Process Technologies
Intel drove major transistor innovation in the past 20 years. With our leadership in manufacturing the Fin-shaped Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET), we raised the 2D transistor channel into the third dimension, greatly improving control of electrons flowing through the channel.
These transistors operate at a lower voltage with lower leakage, providing an unprecedented combination of improved performance and energy efficiency. As a result, transistors are smaller, faster, and use less power than ever before.
We’ve continuously refined FinFET since introducing it nearly a decade ago. Now, we’re driving the next generation of transistor innovation with our RibbonFET and PowerVia breakthrough technologies.
Intel 16: The Ideal Gateway to FinFET
Advantages of FinFET with flexibility of planar:
- Performance of a 16nm class node with fewer masks and simpler back-end design rules.
Intel 3: Intel’s Ultimate FinFET Node
High-performance per watt with extensive Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) use:
- Evolution of Intel 4 with 0.9x logic scaling and 17% performance per watt improvement1.
- Adds denser library, improved drive current and interconnect while benefiting from Intel 4 learnings for faster yield ramp.
- Well-suited for general compute applications.
Intel 18A: Biggest Innovation Since FinFET
Introduces RibbonFET and PowerVia:
- Our biggest innovation since Intel introduced FinFETs to HVM in 2011.
- Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor improves density and performance versus FinFET.
- Optimized ribbon stack delivers superior performance per watt and minimum supply voltage (Vmin).
- PowerVia is Intel’s unique industry-first implementation of backside power delivery architecture that improves standard cell utilization by 5-10% and performance by greater than 5%2.
- Well-suited for High Performance Computing (HPC) and mobile applications.
