IBM has developed the blueprint for producing a processor using sub-1-nanometer (nm) chip technology, outdoing its own ...

Transistors, small semiconductor-based switches that control the flow of electricity, are central components of all ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

IBM's latest chip packs in twice as many transistors as the current state-of-the-art chip by adding a second layer of silicon ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. For roughly six decades, the semiconductor industry has followed a simple and reliable formula: make transistors smaller, pack more of them onto a chip, ...

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

IBM chooses a different path from Intel, Samsung, and TSMC ...

Forward-looking: For years, the chip industry has chased better performance by shrinking transistors and squeezing more of them onto a flat slice of silicon. That strategy is running into hard limits.

Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it's what powers nearly every modern electronic device.

The wish list of device properties that designers of power management systems would like to have is lengthy, but no single material is yet sufficient for the full range of power control applications.
