Welcome to a new year everyone, I have a new article for your Monday morning reading!
Intel’s 22FFL (FinFET Low-power) is a variant of their existing 22nm process that is aimed at low-cost, extremely low-power, and analog/RF applications. 22FFL relaxes the ground rules to reduce the need for double patterning, thereby cutting costs. At the same time, Intel’s engineers essentially backported the second and third generation FinFETs from the 10nm and 14nm processes to 22FFL, improving performance and power efficiency with superior fin geometry and workfunction metals. Intel also created a large library of digital and analog transistors and passive components.
The full article is at https://www.realworldtech.com/intel-22ffl-process/.
I'm really curious to see what Intel ends up manufacturing on 22FFL. It looks like a very nice process.
