By the time we gave all the details in a 2019 feature article , it was clear that this device was destined to be the successor to the FinFET. You’d expect the three companies DARPA funded to come up with a chip, though there was no guarantee they’d commercialize it,” says Moore, who wrote “ Chips to Compute With Encrypted Data Are Coming.” “But
