IBM claims key advance in carbon nanotube transistors
by from Techreport on (#P6FC)
IBM's research division says it's found a way to overcome a key roadblock on the way to practical carbon-nanotube transistors.
The company notes that scaling carbon nanotube-based transistors to smaller sizes is limited by two things: the size of the device's channel and the size of its contacts. IBM says making a transistor with a carbon-nanotube channel is relatively practical. Connecting such a channel to its ...
