The number of transistors on a chip will double every two years, according to Moore’s Law, a key scaling concept for electronic devices, guaranteeing increasing processing power—but there is a limit.
Today's most advanced chips house nearly 50 billion transistors within a space no larger than your thumbnail. The task of cramming even more transistors into th

<p>In a study published today (Jan. 10) in the journal <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06860-5">Nature</a>, Saptarshi Das, an associate professor of engineering science and mechanics and co-corresponding author of the study, and his team suggest a way to fit more transistors on a chip by seamlessly implementing 3D integration with 2D materials.</p>
Transistors built from ultra-thin 2D materials take a step forward Two-dimensional materials can be used to create smaller, high-performance transistors traditionally made of silicon, according to Saptarshi Das, assistant professor of engineering science and mechanics (ESM) in Penn State’s College of Engineering. Das and his collaborators report in Nature Communications on tests to determine the technological viability of transistors made from 2D materials. Transistors are tiny digital switches found in cell phones, computer circuits, smart watches and the like. “We live in a digital an...
