IBM bets on graphene to replace silicon
-
IBM is researching the production of graphene chips with the aim of making them an alternative to silicon, a material that seems to be unsustainable when it comes to the 7nm manufacturing process.
The New York-based company has reported at the IEEE Electron Devices Meeting in Washington DC about the chip prototypes they are working on.
On the one hand, the "Blue Giant" has confirmed that they have managed to create a graphene device compatible with CMOS for the first time, which can work at a speed of 5GHz and at a temperature of up to 200 degrees.
On the other hand, the company has shown a prototype of its Racetrack memory chip, which we told you about at the end of last December, and which combines the use of magnetic hard drives and solid-state memory.
Furthermore, the fair also revealed news from the Swiss laboratory LANES, which is responsible for researching electronics and nano-scale structures.
Specifically, they showed their advances in the field of molybdenite, a mineral that allows for the creation of smaller and more energy-efficient chips, and which offers more mechanical flexibility than silicon.
P.D: I think we are good graphene producers (let's see if they build a graphene valley in Spain:D:D:D:D:D:D)
