in short：
1、the first logic IC manufacturer to implement any type of high-k material
and the first anywhere in the industry to produce FETs with a high-k gate
dielectric.
2、metal-gate technology，this may be the biggest change in transistor
technology since the introduction of polysilicon gates.(titanium nitride (
TiN) for the PFET replacement gate
