"the world's first 3-D transistors, called Tri-Gate, in a production technology"

I wonder if this is truly Intel's invention or not:

All of those papers either post-date Intel's announcement from 2003 regarding tri-gate transistors, or are written by Intel employees. That search also brings up multiple patents held by Intel on the technology.

There's an enormous difference between writing a paper on a design and prepping up to produce them at Intel's scale. Even if they didn't invent the object, they invented the processes to make it a reality outside of a lab.

If you're ever wondering if Intel invented something related to transistors, the answer is probably yes.
