News MIT unveils ultra-efficient 3D nanoscale transistors that could revolutionize future electronics

[Admin]

Ultrathin nanoscale 3D transistors made out of advanced semiconductor materials operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices by harnessing quantum properties, potentially enabling ultra-low-power AI applications.

Are the new semi-conductor materials a secret? A combination of materials? Gallium? Graphene? That, in itself, would be headline-worthy. But if Dr. Yanjie Shao didn't go into more detail... it sounds a little like The Wizard demanding "don't look behind that curtain!" The mind-boggling complexity of the latest ASML fab machines, operating mainly at TMSC... if either of those companies starts talking about such 3D chips, or even Intel, I'll pay attention. This is vaporware until then.

The abstract of the Nature article states:

Here, we report scaled vertical-nanowire heterojunction tunnelling transistors that are based on the broken-band GaSb/InAs system.​
