A fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) is a multigate device,a MOSFET built on a substrate where the gate is placed on two,three,or four sides of the channel or wrapped around the channel,forming a double or even multi gate structure. These devices have been given the generic name "FinFETs" because the source/drain region forms fins on the silicon surface. The FinFET devices have significantly faster switching times and higher current density than planar CMOS technology.
The J. J. Ebers Award was established in 1971 to foster progress in electron devices. It commemorates Jewell James Ebers,whose contributions,particularly to transistors,shaped the understanding and technology of electron devices. It is presented annually to one or more individuals who have made either a single or a series of contributions of recognized scientific,economic,or social significance in the broad field of electron devices. The recipient is awarded a certificate and check for $5,000,presented at the International Electron Devices Meeting.

RF Micropower is a fabless semiconductor company based in Phoenix,Arizona that sells and licenses the RFuP technology that was initially developed by SJT Micropower,Inc. The company's proprietary technology enables high voltage Si-MESFET transistors to be fabricated on commercial SOI CMOS processes without altering the native process or adding additional fabrication steps which allows high levels of monolithic integration. These power transistors can operate at voltages that are 20 times higher than the baseline CMOS transistors and at several Watts of power. The technology has been implemented in various integrated circuit solutions including RF power amplifiers and power regulation circuits. According to their website,they have demonstrated Si-MESFETs at the 350 nm,250 nm,150 nm,45 nm and 32 nm process nodes. The smallest process node for MESFETs on any type of substrate is currently 32 nm.
