The new bismuth-based transistor could revolutionize chip design, offering higher efficiency while bypassing silicon’s limitations.

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely.

The researchers, led by physical chemistry professor Peng Hailin, said their self-engineered 2D transistor could operate 40 per cent faster than Intel and TSMC’s cutting-edge 3-nanometre silicon ...

Some also include current sensing. The paralleled silicon IGBT and GaN hemt efficiency argument goes like this: The GaN transistor has low conduction and low switching losses at low traction loads, ...

For the longest time, there's been a golden rule in technology, often shorthanded as Moore's Law: Every year, transistors get smaller, and devices get faster and more capable as a result.

Carbon nanotube transistors are finally making progress for potential use in advanced logic chips after nearly a quarter century in R&D. The question now is whether they will move out of the lab and ...
