What will replace silicon and when will it happen? There are no simple answers, but something has to be done. Chipmakers are making a giant leap from planar transistors to finFETs. Initially, Intel ...
At first glance, other semiconductors always have looked more attractive to device designers than silicon. Both germanium and III-V compound semiconductors have higher carrier mobility, allowing ...
Traditional semiconductors such as Si, GaAs, and HgCdTe seem unable to meet the development trend of electronic devices that feature ultra-small volume, light weight, and low power consumption. These ...
