Synopsys has posted the technology update FinFET: The Promises and the Challenges on its website. The update describes the history and issues associated with FinFets. The big advantage with FinFETs is that dynamic power consumption is reduced by 50% and static power dissipation is reduced by 90% while being 37% faster. FinFETs are 3D structures with a fixed channel width making them harder fabricate, model, and simulate.
