Tiny compound semiconductor transistor could challenge silicon’s dominance

December 10, 2012

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Silicon’s crown is under threat: The semiconductor’s days as the king of microchips for computers and smart devices could be numbered, thanks to the development of the smallest transistor ever to be built from a rival material, indium gallium arsenide.

The compound transistor, built by a team in MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories, performs well despite being just 22 nanometers (billionths of a meter) in length. This makes it a promising candidate to eventually replace silicon in computing devices, says co-developer Jesús del Alamo, the Donner Professor of Science in … Read More → "Tiny compound semiconductor transistor could challenge silicon’s dominance"
