Gate栅极
In semiconductor devices, a gate is the transistor terminal that controls the flow of current between the source and drain regions through a voltage applied to the gate electrode. In translated technical documents, the term appears in device physics discussions, schematic symbols, layout descriptions, and process documentation to distinguish this physical control terminal from a logic gate or a digital logic function.

Where this term appears
In localization work, the term gate commonly occurs in SPICE model files, circuit schematics, netlists, layout verification reports, process integration documents, and design rule manuals. It also appears in failure analysis and reliability reports where parameters such as gate oxide integrity, gate length, gate leakage current, and gate electrode materials are discussed.
Translation checks
The most common error is translating gate as “门” or treating it as a logic gate, especially when the source text omits “oxide” or “electrode.” In device and process documents this can blur the difference between a physical transistor terminal and a digital logic function, leading to incorrect descriptions of drive current, leakage, or breakdown.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Technical terms need checking against the source, approved product terminology and related specifications. Keep units, parameter conditions and document versions aligned across the file set.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
