Technology News: Discovery suggests new promise for nonsilicon computer transistors
Once deemed suitable only for high-speed communication systems, an alloy called InGaAs might one day rival silicon in high-performance computing
10 Dec 2020
For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world Silicon Valley bears its name. But silicon’s reign may not last forever.
MIT researchers have found that an alloy called InGaAs (indium gallium arsenide) could hold the potential for smaller and more energy efficient transistors. Previously, researchers thought that the performance of InGaAs transistors deteriorated at small scales. But the new study shows this apparent deterioration is not an intrinsic property of the material itself.
