HyperGate V40: Gate Stack for the Sub-2nm Era

GAA-FET architecture designed to address direct tunneling leakage and extend energy efficiency in advanced nodes.

The problem

The EOT wall and direct tunneling leakage

The transition toward sub-2nm nodes requires maintaining electrostatic control while the interfacial layer and equivalent oxide thickness shrink to extremely small scales.

At these dimensions, the probability that electrons tunnel through the gate can grow significantly, increasing leakage current and standby power consumption.

This phenomenon limits scaling, increases the thermal challenge and affects the energy viability of advanced chips for AI, HPC and mobile devices.

HyperGate V40 addresses this limit from gate architecture, seeking improved electrostatic control without depending on an exotic materials route.

The solution

Gate stack with a calibrated interfacial layer

HyperGate V40 proposes a GAA-FET gate architecture based on dimensional control of the interfacial layer and its interaction with the high-k, oriented toward reducing leakage and preserving performance.

01

Controlled interfacial layer

Configuration designed to maintain functional isolation and channel control at dimensions where traditional scaling begins to fail.

02
