Talk:Multigate device

message: Hoping that this article can replace or merge with the too-specific, not-too-well-organized FinFET article Irene Ringworm 19:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not the person to do it, as I'm only reading about it now, but dual-gate FETs have been used for a long time in analogue applications (e.g. mixers for superhet radio receivers).  This application should be discussed here alongside the more recent digital applications. JulesH (talk) 09:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Really, the devices described in this article should be termed multi-channel FET, not multi-gate FET. The dual-gate FET, is, as mentioned above, used in VHF applications. It has two independent gates on a single channel. The device functions as a cascode amp if the gate closest to the drain is kept at a constant potential wrt the source. These devices are fundamentally different. There's even a special symbol for a dual-gate FET. --71.214.208.91 (talk) 17:30, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs to discuss analogue applications 

message: The descriptions of FinFETs an Trigates seem garbled to me:
:FinFET: The distinguishing characteristic of the FinFET is that the conducting channel is wrapped by a thin silicon "fin", which forms the body of the device.
:TriGate: These transistors employ a single gate stacked on top of two vertical gates allowing for essentially three times the surface area for electrons to travel.
Shouldn't it be more like:
:FinFET: The distinguishing characteristic of the FinFET is that the conducting channel or "fin", which forms the body of the device, is wrapped by a thin silicon gate.
:TriGate: These transistors employ a single gate stacked on top of two or more vertical paths between source and drain allowing for essentially three times the surface area for electrons to travel.

message: FinFET (and Intel's Tri-Gate) should be split out into FinFET as they might not have multiple gates - probably someone thought Tri-Gate mean triple gate (rather than 3-sided gate) - or are there RS for finFETs being considered multigate devices - in which case we should split finFET from MIGFETs ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:46, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
