Graphene Transistors to Replace Silicon

Researchers at Manchester University makes a new footprint in the field of transistors. They developed a technique for improving the ON-OFF ratio of  Graphene transistors.  The newly developed Graphene transistors might replace silicon in computer chips. The main benefit of using Graphene for making transistors is that, we can scale down size of transistors to 10-15 atom across. Thus transistors can be made of nano-scale, thus it can have more transistors in chips, and makes them more powerful. Graphene's low resistance to the flow of electrons...

Germanium Nanowire Transistors

Intel revels that they had developed P-Channel Germanium Transistors,it is combined with complementary III-V N-channel transistors and forms  CMOS architecture. Germanium was found to be limited due to greater current leakage, for many years. Now the focus on germanium is due to the fact that, Germanium is more mobile than Silicon. For more than a decade, the extensive use of Germanium over Silicon has been discussing, and the first Germanium processors were predicted before 15 years, to arrive in 2007 to 2008 time. Similarly the first...

Carbon Nanotube Transistors to Break 10nm Level

It is extremely challenging to scale bulk silicon transistors, when the lengths are close to 15nm. 3D Transistor design and Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) devices are getting more attention to improve the scalability of silicon technology. Carbon Nanotube Transistors have been treated as a possible replacement for silicon transistors, but the question is that, 'Can CNT transistors can offer better performance over silicon at sub-10 nm lengths?'. Now the experimental results from IBM Research are indicating that the answer is 'Yes'. There are various opinions in the nanoelectronics community about Carbon Nano Tube...

Intex Avatar 3D Touch Mobile comes to India

The Intex Avatar 3D Touch Mobile comes to India with attractive features and lowest price. The highlight of this mobile is that it converts images and videos to 3D with a simple touch. This product is accompanied by a set of 3D glasses for users to view the converted content in real 3D effect. The users can watch 3D in the rate of 30 frames per second. It also comes with 4GB microSD multimedia memory card which includes 10 pre-installed 3D films. "We believe that for...

3D Transistor : Intel Reinvents Transistors

Transistor is a very important electronic device which is used to amplify and switch signals. It was using 2D design since the invention, about 50 years ago. Now Intel introduces a revolutionary 3D Transistor design called Tri-Gate. This technology was first introduced by Intel in 2002 to high volume manufacture of 22-nanometer (nm) node in a chip named "Ivy Bridge." The Three dimensional Tri-Gate transistors will replace the traditional planar two dimensional transistor structure that is used in today's computers, mobiles and other...
