Figure 1 – From FinFET to nanosheet (with buried power rails (BPRs)), forksheet and CFET.

Figure 2 – Layout of SRAM half cells for a) FinFET, b) gate-all-around nanosheet and c) forksheet. The forksheet can provide up to 30% scaling of the bit cell height as the p-n space is not governed by gate extension (GE), gate cut (GE) or dummy fin gate tuck (DFGT).
