Samsung Foundry’s New Transistor Structure: MBCFET™

Samsung’s patented version of Gate-All-Around, MBCFET™ (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET), uses a nanosheet architecture, which enables greater current per stack. Compared to 7nm technology, Samsung’s 3GAE process with MBCFET is designed to provide up to a 45 percent reduction in chip area with 50 percent lower power consumption or 35 percent higher performance. This initial GAA-based process node is expected to be widely adopted in next-generation applications, such as mobile, network, automotive, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IoT.

There are a small number of super smart people, and all of us benefit from their work. Big thanks to you smart guys. I'm so dumb I don't even understand the video.

[@happygimp0]

Simply speaking: MOSFETs, a type of transistor, has 3 (technically 4, but we ignore one) connections. There is a source and a drain, normally they are connected in a way that currents want to flow through it. The gate voltage controls if electrons or holes (current) can flow from the source to the drain or not. Transistors can be combine in a way they can be useto do mathematical operations, this is how every computer works. The violet part you see in the video shows the gate, the grew part is the channel between source and gate. This transistors have a size of a few nm.

This looks very similar to Intel RibbonFET. Different names for the same idea?

Samsung announce it 3 years ago, and intel about 1 year ago, so not sure which inspires which.

[@realazee]

Except Samsung is generally behind TSMC and at a similar pace to Intel if not slower when it comes with semiconductor innovation and performance characteristics across the same generation vs the competition. The MBCFETs might change this tho, we shall see whether TSMCs enhanced FinFET, Intels GAAFET or Samsungs MBCFET will come out on top in the 3nm process node generation

[@TaqeebMuqaddes]

But I think some angular shape (mod mbcfet) will be more feasible in the perspective of transistor technology.

The video's cool as hell and I finally understood how these work I thought electricity went left to right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@hariranormal5584]

These are transistors, hard to explain here but you can basically see how chips work in general and can understand

[@rightousray2]

The current passing through the nano sheet is the current use to read the bit, I.e. a 1 or 0. The gate or switch surrounds the nano sheets. A current is applied to the gate which applies a small electric field to the nano sheet which allows the current to run through the nano sheet and be read as a 1. If a current is not applied to the gate then the transistor or bit will be read as a 0. This is how it works in its simplistic form. This is good enough to understand the concept, I think.

[@divyasharma964]

It depends from which are the source and drain. But for sure it's in the fin, so it's right.
