New TEM Technique Creates 2.8nm Transistor: WPI-MANA
This structure determines the nanotube's properties, and altering it can result in drastic changes, such as turning it from a metal to a semiconductor.
- This structure determines the nanotube's properties, and altering it can result in drastic changes, such as turning it from a metal to a semiconductor.
- To address this difficulty, researchers at WPI-MANA have developed a technique to precisely manipulate individual CNTs and alter their helical structure inside a TEM.
- In fact, this is among the world's smallest transistors, and we created it by using our new technique."
- This could allow the density of transistors on a computer chip to be much higher, leading to more powerful and faster electronics.
