Intel’s research and development involving new types of transistors has resulted in further development of a tri-gate (3-D) transistor for high-volume manufacturing. Since these transistors greatly improve performance and energy efficiency ...

Frozen Chip Operates at 500,000,000,000 Cycles/Second at Near Absolute Zero IBM and the Georgia Institute of Technology announced today that their researchers have demonstrated the first silicon-based chip capable of operating at frequencies above ...

Diamonds may be a microchip's best friend, too, it seems. Scientists at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory in the US have been making electronic transistors out of pure diamond. The transistors can withstand far higher ...

Intel Corporation is the first to sample NOR multi-level cell flash memory chips at 1-gigabit density using its advanced 65-nanometer (nm) process technology . Intel’s NOR Flash memory chips are used in devices such as cell phones to manage ...

IBM announced that its researchers have built the first complete electronic integrated circuit around a single “carbon nanotube” molecule, a new material that shows promise for providing enhanced performance over today’s standard ...

Scientists who hope to use quantum dots as the building blocks for the next generation of computers have found a way to make these artificial atoms communicate. “Essentially, the dots talk to each other,” said Ameenah Al-Ahmadi, an Ohio ...

Risky alternatives could be postponed if current methods can be modified to last longer IBM researchers announced they have found a way to extend a key chip-manufacturing process to generate smaller chip circuits, potentially postponing the ...

Evanescent wave lithography enables optical imaging to smallest-ever level A new computer chip lithography method under development at Rochester Institute of Technology has led to imaging capabilities beyond that previously thought possible. ...

The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and permit its use as a dual-input, dual-output, ...

Scientists have demonstrated the first reproducible, controllable silicon transistors that are turned on and off by the motion of individual electrons. The experimental devices, designed and fabricated at NTT Corp. of Japan and tested at National ...
