EOT, or equivalent oxide thickness basically states how an oxide would behave if it was SiO2 (traditional gate oxide).

In other words a high K gate may be 20-30A thick physically, but it performs like a 10A SiO2 film (the numbers here are a bit made up)... so the "equivalent" oxide thickness would be 10A

**Gory details - The problem with this announcement is EOT is somewhat meaningless; it is the electrical thickness that matters and this is a measurement of how the film behaves under normal transistor operation as there are other factors that impact how the gate behaves.

IBM reported really impressive high K EOT's many years ago... never did get those films integrated into transistors (but the technical papers looked impressive!)... these #'s may or may be real - hard to say.

aren't random word generators great ?
I'm having so much fun with my new PC.

One can imagine that HIGH Metal Resistance IS Needed to Make Transistor Acutually Be There Electrically. Too Low Omega & Power Passes Thru With NO Penetration To Open or Close.

Next: IS Equivalent of 22 Nm, 22 Nm? Maybe NOT. Maybe Higher K. Maybe Ultee'
