You what? I've worked in this industry for 30 years & I can't understand the acronyms

With Intel, IQE has developed a narrow fin-width 3-D Tri-gate InGaAs QWFET with the steepest sub-threshold swing and smallest DIBL ever reported for any high-K III-V FET.

Sounds impressive whatever it means.

Gosh. still.

This stuff is becoming indistinguishable from magick.

SAS will explain it all to us s later.

But I loved this bit:

The transistors were fabricated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate using a relaxed metamorphic buffer layer of AlyIn1-ySb to accommodate lattice mismatch, a compressively strained InSb quantum well confined between layers of AlxIn1-xSb and a Schottky barrier metal gate

If I had the smallest DIBL ever I wouldn't be boasting about it.

My concern is that I've just read an article on it and I'm as confused now as I was to begin with.

I thought I understood what it was about until I got to the 10th paragraph on wikipedia and realised that

1) I don't actually understand it
2) chances are I never will

I will ask my open university Physics lecturer neighbour to read that article tonight and confirm if I'm just beyond hope....

Its all basic electronics. They are talking about the current over a transistor gate. ... basically lower power for the same result...

I thought it was mainly about faster switching. I've obviously been out of the game too long.

Isn't she lovely?

InGaAs = Indium Gallium Arsenide? (just having a guess)
Am confident DIBL was a fireman in Trumpton.
