Intel Fellow Explains 3D Transistor Invention

Definitions: Moore's Law: a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This trend has continued for more than half a century and is expected to continue until 2015 or 2020 or later. 22 nanometer: the next step after the 32 nanometer process in semiconductor fabrication. 22 nm refers to the expected average half-pitch of a memory cell at this technology level. High-k insulator: material with a high dielectric constant dielectric: an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. planar: involving two dimensions
