Intel rocked the IC world earlier this summer when it showed off its 3D "trigate" transistor structure for 22nm ICs. It intentionally avoided the term "FinFET" which generally describes any multigate fin-based architecture. At IEDM, there are about a dozen papers doing something with various sub-20nm FinFET architectures. In this one, researchers from GlobalFoundries are describing circuit and device interactions in fully depleted FinFETs for =14nm targeting future SoC applications.
