Exactly what I am looking for, excellent lecture

[@skcn2007]

Excellent one !!! got a good understanding of Finfet fundamentals..

[@AminZgh]

It was really helpful. Would you put the presentation file for download?

[@inaobaheishnam5252]

sir I am new to device so I have a doubt that how to understand planar structure device and 3D structure device?

[@vikramadithya9597]

could you send me the ppt it would be really helpful to me . Thanking you.

[@skcn2007]

Important info missing at 8:08 what is the significance of first gate and last gate in the rows :-(

[@tonyian3287]

Yeah, why something missing?

[@christophergreen6103]

dummy gates. in IC layout, it is a common practice, with planar tech. I'm researching finfet for upcoming job & i speculate those are dummy gates as well. Serve numerous functions most notably guard the 3 middle gates, overcome irregularities due to fabrication often the outer fin or diffusion is rounded. placing a dummy on parameter forces the diffusion to be more true to expected parameters. etc.

above reasons and also to have a uniform (similar) electric field distribution over all the fin devices. If the end gates are not there the first and the last device will have electric field different from the rest of the fin devices.

Smart people, thank you. My brain hurts now :P

very difficult to listen to this guy with all the uuhhs and ahhhs.
