Source: ViewSonic Toshiba Improves Silicon Nanowire Transistor for 16nm Generation and Beyond Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has developed a breakthrough technology for a nanowire transistor, a major candidate for a 3D structure transistor for system LSI in the 16nm generation and beyond. The company has achieved a 1mA/µm on-current, the world's highest level for a nanowire transistor, by reducing parasitic resistance and improving the on-current level by 75%. This is a major step towards practical application of nanowire transistors. When the size of current planar transistors scales smaller, current leakage between the source and the drain at its off-stage (off-leakage) will become a critical problem in securing circuit reliability. To overcome this, transistors with a 3D structure, including silicon nanowire transistors, are being investigated as candidates for future generations of devices. The silicon nanowire transistor can suppress off-leakage and achieve further short-channel operation, because its thin wire-shaped silicon channel (nanowire channel) is effectively controlled by the surrounding gate. However, parasitic resistance in the nanowire-shaped source/drain, especially in the region under the gate sidewall, degrades the on-current. Toshiba overcame this problem by optimizing gate fabrication and significantly reducing the thickness of the gate sidewall, from 30nm to 10nm. Low parasitic resistance was realized by epitaxial silicon growth on the source/drain with a thin gate sidewall, which leads to a 40% increase in on-current. The company also achieved a further 25% increase in current performance by changing the direction of the silicon nanowire channel from the <110> to <100> plane direction. Utilizing these technologies, Toshiba has demonstrated an industry-leading on-current level of 1mA/µm, when the off-current is 100nA/µm, a 75% increase in the on-current at the same off-current condition.

The router provides better, more consistent coverage and uses three distinct data streams in a multiple-input and multiple-output smart antenna configuration to enable faster data transfer rates. While most routers on consumer shelves today operate at 300Mbps or less, this router boasts speeds up to 450Mbps. The D-Link Xtreme N 450 Gigabit Router (DIR-665) is the company's first wireless router to receive Connect with Intel Centrino Ultimate-N certification. The testing for Intel Centrino compatibility assures faster and wider wireless connectivity. The DIR-655 utilizes the power of HD Fuel to play movies and games with superior technology over competing routers. It is also D-Link's first router to pass Wi-Fi Multi-stream N certification. The router offers both wide area and local area network (WAN/LAN) Gigabit ports, SharePort for printer sharing capability, selectable dual band (2.4 or 5 GHz) performance, three antennas and D-Link Green technology, which saves power through Wi-Fi scheduling and innovative, eco-friendly port activity and cable detection techniques. The D-Link Xtreme N 450 Gigabit Router is initially available at Fry's Home Electronics. Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the DIR-665 is $229.99. Source: D-Link
