Talk:Multigate device

[edit] Good article but one extra point could be added
Hi I really like this article but what a double gate or tri-gate device but there is one point i would like to be added. In the art the terms of double gate and tri-gate are used very confusingly. With double gates sometimes people refers to two gates on each of the sides for a finfet or on top and bottom for a planar double gate connected together so they in effect electrically are just one gate. Likewise a finfet with one wrap-around gate is often times called a tri-gate. When two gates either in a finfet or a planar double gate configuration are separated and individually electrically connected to in effect electrically become a double gate device they are often called independent, separated or split gate devices to clearly distinguish these devices from the non independent types. It seems as others are better at integrating knowledge into the article so I am not going to add this point as of now. I hope others will ad the point otherwise I will try to formulate it to the best of my abilities in march 2007. Landers 16 february 2007 193.88.185.185 13:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've got a substantial rewrite in the works that distinguishes between MIGFET (independent gate operation) and MUGFET (wraparound gate). Irene Ringworm 15:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
