(Most about Hexas but easy to see where it goes and where it could take 4DS.)
https://bestproductcenter.com/the-concept-of-a-new-transistor-fanfet-technology-applied-to-3d-nand-flash/FanFET Technological Highlights and Benefits
Hexas Technology’s FanFET has 10 complex highlights. From a complex level of view, the 1st team is the innovative higher-density transistor mobile which includes,
- Be a brand name new fan-type area effect transistor (FanFET) construction.
- Be applicable to both of those transistors and memory.
- Make multi-layer stacked 3D composition and technological innovation.
- Raise the memory density for each unit location
- Have diversified technologies: in addition to stand-alone memory technologies, it can be extended to embedded devices and computing in memory.
The second team is extendable Moore’s regulation indicating FanFET can be ranged from 90 nm to significantly less than 10 nm in node engineering. From a commercial position of see, the highlights contain,
- Get acquire-acquire business enterprise model and strategic profitability.
- Make approach in Silicon compatibility: The course of action technological know-how is appropriate with the latest 12-inch fab.
- Reduce enhancement expenditures and boost capability utilization.
- Share patent rights: co-sharing patent pool and developing applicable complex specifications.
- Build a total producing provide chain.
To Maximize Potential Company Opportunities
Hexas Technology’s impressive FanFET 3D-NAND flash memory, which is appropriate with the conventional MOST framework, and the most effective growth technological innovation, has a simple and exact unit mobile with the smallest function size 2F2 and the greatest density for each volume in 3D procedure. In the era of cell communications and synthetic intelligence, Hexas Engineering hopes to jointly establish with alliances through the get-acquire organization model in buy to derive a lot more technological levels and business opportunities, and to additional integrate new content technologies so as to open up up nano-scale memory programs in the new blue ocean.
Electronic Logic Application of FanFET
With the relationship concerning n-sort FanFET and p-variety FanFET, they can flip into the prototype of the inverter. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the FanFET inverter of the standard device of electronic logic. FanFET can total the corresponding electronic logic functions by means of simulation and layout possessing far more kinetic electricity and imagination space of study and enhancement on the attribute size, electrical characteristics, and 3D approach know-how. FanFET, like CMOS, is a transistor that can manufacture memory and logic circuits. In the semiconductor marketplace, FanFET is a mounting star of nano-scale impressive construction and has the possible for development of semiconductor technologies.

About the Technical Update
Imo, what the recent technical update suggests is that both Drs van den Hoek and Guido Arnout are much more interested in advancing the cell technology than building a megabit array.
Building something that could be both a transistor and a memory seems to be where every one wants to go.
Here you see AI and other potential uses coming within reach..
But true, you need an access device tfor characterisation of the new performances of the cell.
I could be wrong but it seems to me that they don't spend enough time on this access device. Hence the technical issues.
The most interesting part is elsewhere.
That's why they keep multiplying Non-platform lots.
The real value, the cutting edge technology is there, at the cell level and things that are immediatly adjacent.
Sure, for shareholders, the megabit platform is what would make 4DS free to look for a buyer.
But, imo, they know what the industry is really looking for and it is not a fully connected megabit array.
What is needed is a very high performance memory cell that can be produced in existing fabs.This has just been proved !
The fundamental value of the company has increased by what has been achieved.
I just hope that they will be allowed to speak about it in some conference in the near futur.
