2. INTRODUCTION
The 22 nanometer (22 nm) is the next CMOS process step
following the 32 nm step on the International Technology
Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS).
It was first introduced by semiconductor companies in 2008
for use in memory products.
transistors using a three-dimensional structure will be put
into high-volume manufacturing.
Intel will introduce a revolutionary 3-D transistor design
called Tri-Gate, the 22-nanometer (nm) node in an Intel chip
codenamed "ivybridge."

4. MOORE'S LAW
Moore's Law is a forecast for the pace of silicon technology development that
states that roughly every 2 years transistor density will double, while
increasing functionality and performance and decreasing costs.
Transistors continue to get smaller, cheaper and more energy efficient in
accordance with Moore's Law - named for Intel co-founder Gordon Moore.
Because of this, Intel has been able to innovate and integrate, adding more
features and computing cores to each chip, increasing performance, and
decreasing manufacturing cost per transistor.

while meeting the overall power, cost and size requirements
for a range of market segment needs. Replacing the "2D"
gates with super-thin fins that rise up from the silicon base.
Ivy Bridge-based Intel Core family processors will be the
first high-volume chips to use 3-D Tri-Gate transistors.
The performance, functionality and software compatibility
of Intel architecture while meeting the overall power, cost
and size requirements for a range of market segment needs.
13. INTEL CONTINUES TO LEAD, USERS CONTINUE
TO BENEFIT
Introduced at the end of 2011, the 3rd generation Intel core
processor is the first high-volume chip to use 3-D transistors.
As

leadership
for
servers, pcs, laptops, and handheld devices with 22nm 3-D
transistor technology, consumers and businesses should
expect faster computing and graphics, and longer battery life
in a variety of sleek form factors.
