The pursuit of greater scaling and performance drove the adoption of high-k metal gates, FinFETs, gate-all-around transistors, and backside power.

“It drove high-K metal gates. It drove FinFETs. It go- gate all around. It drove backside power. These are things that are, you know, were in the '80s and '90s, you would be like, "Oh, no, we're not touching any of that," 'cause we just continued to have the same process flow and we'd just scale it, scale it, scale it.”
