The term "16nm FinFET" refers to a type of semiconductor technology used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits. The "16nm" indicates the size of the transistors, which are incredibly small, allowing for more components to fit on a chip. This miniaturization enhances performance and energy efficiency in devices like smartphones and computers. FinFET stands for "Fin Field-Effect Transistor," a design that uses a three-dimensional structure to improve control over the electrical current. This design helps reduce power leakage and increases switching speed, making it a popular choice for advanced processors, such as those found in Intel and AMD products.
