[edit] Re: Tri-Gate Transistor

I removed the text because the decision of an earlier deletion discussion for that page decided that it was not notable enough to merit its own article. There are a plethora of different transistor structures that do not have their own articles, and this one is simply a novel construction of the (MOS)FET. -- mattb 19:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

There is no set rule for which talk page you should reply on. It's actually a rather kludgy system in general. Some people prefer to respond back and forth between talk pages, and some would rather you carry on the conversation on one page.

Anyway, "important and major improvement in transistor architecture" is pretty subjective language. Multiple gate FETs have been around for awhile without ever being commercialized. IBM has had a similar construction to Intel's tri-gate transistor for some time (Intel has the lovely tendency to make up its own names for things; it co-developed a narrow-bandgap HFET a couple of years ago and called it a QWFET). I would suggest adding a couple of sentences about multiple gate control schemes to the field effect transistor. At least until wrap-around multiple gate FETs make it to mainstream processes (might be awhile since, as I understand, there are nontrivial yield issues with the etching process at the scaling levels that merit the more complicated construction), they still fall well into "interesting research" territory and it would be difficult to argue the merits of them having their own article.

Incidentally, welcome to Wikipedia and I hope you stay and continue editing articles. You may want to have a look at this introduction for some useful information. You should also know that credentials don't really mean anything on this site (both a good and a bad thing, I think), and article content is determined mostly by consensus and citation (I'm a RF electronics/optoelectronics researcher, for whatever that's worth). -- mattb 16:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Veropedia

A tag has been placed on Veropedia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 19:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
