The Era of GAAFET Is About to Come

Abstract

In recent years, with the development of the semiconductor industry, Moore’s Law has gradually become ineffective, making it increasingly difficult for people to improve chip manufacturing processes. Many people believe that Moore’s Law will no longer exist. However, with Samsung announcing the production of 3-nanometer gate-all-around (GAA) architecture process technology chips on June 30, 2022, the chip process has been further advanced. Moore’s Law is expected to continue in the coming years. This article will mainly introduce why GAAFET will become the mainstream field-effect transistor in the future. The potential problems that GAAFET may encounter in its future development will also be analyzed, including massive research and development costs and a longer research and development cycle.
