{{short description|Type of non-planar transistor}} {{about|fin-shaped field-effect transistor|Ferroelectric memory with a ferroelectric FET gate|FeFET}} thumb|A double-gate FinFET device A '''fin field-effect transistor''' ('''FinFET''') is a multigate device, a MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor) built on a substrate where the gate is placed on two, three, or four sides of the channel or wrapped around the channel (gate all around), 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.

Microchips utilizing FinFET gates first became commercialized in the first half of the 2010s, and became the dominant gate design at 14 nm, 10 nm and 7 nm process nodes.

It is common for a single FinFET transistor to contain several fins, arranged side by side and all covered by the same gate, that act electrically as one. The number of fins can be varied to adjust drive strength and performance,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/4313/intel-announces-first-22nm-3d-trigate-transistors-shipping-in-2h-2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110506025435/http://www.anandtech.com/show/4313/intel-announces-first-22nm-3d-trigate-transistors-shipping-in-2h-2011|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 6, 2011|title=Intel Announces first 22nm 3D Tri-Gate Transistors, Shipping in 2H 2011|first=Anand Lal|last=Shimpi|website=AnandTech|date=4 May 2011|access-date=18 January 2022}}</ref> with drive strength increasing with a higher number of fins.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://semiwiki.com/events/300552-vlsi-technology-forum-short-course-logic-devices/ | title=VLSI Symposium - TSMC and Imec on Advanced Process and Devices Technology Toward 2nm | date=25 February 2024 }}</ref>

The first FinFET transistor type was called a ''depleted lean-channel transistor'' (DELTA) transistor, which was first fabricated in Japan by Hitachi Central Research Laboratory's Digh Hisamoto, Toru Kaga, Yoshifumi Kawamoto and Eiji Takeda in 1989.<ref name="Colinge"/><ref>{{cite book |last1=Hisamoto |first1=Digh |last2=Kaga |first2=Toru |last3=Kawamoto |first3=Yoshifumi |last4=Takeda |first4=Eiji |title=International Technical Digest on Electron Devices Meeting |chapter=A fully depleted lean-channel transistor (DELTA)-a novel vertical ultra thin SOI MOSFET |date=December 1989 |pages=833–836 |doi=10.1109/IEDM.1989.74182|s2cid=114072236 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=IEEE Andrew S.

The former is called a ''tri-gate transistor'' and the latter a ''double-gate transistor''. A double-gate transistor optionally can have each side connected to two different terminal or contacts. This variant is called ''split transistor,'' enabling more refined control of the operation of the transistor.

==Commercialization== The industry's first 25 nanometer transistor operating on just 0.7 volts was demonstrated in December 2002 by TSMC. The "Omega FinFET" design, named after the similarity between the Greek letter "Omega" and the shape in which the gate wraps around the source/drain structure, has a gate delay of just 0.39 picosecond (ps) for the N-type transistor and 0.88 ps for the P-type.

In 2004, Samsung demonstrated a "bulk FinFET" design, which made it possible to mass-produce FinFET devices. They demonstrated dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) manufactured with a 90{{nbsp}}nm bulk FinFET process.<ref name="Liu"/>
