Defying Moore's law: IBM researches for tomorrow's nanocircuits.(INDUSTRY WEEK'S: TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION IN MANUFACTURING AWARDS)(International Business Machines Corp.)
Industry Week, December, 2006 by Teresko, John
IBM researchers have built the first complex electronic integrated circuit around a single carbon nanotube molecule, a new material that shows promise for enhancing performance over today's standard silicon semiconductors.
For some 50 years the semiconductor industry has relied on the ability to pack increasing numbers of electronic circuits on a single silicon chip to make those chips more powerful, note IBM researchers Joerg Appenzeller and Zhihong Chen of T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y. That was achieved largely by finding ways to build circuits smaller. With scientists seeing an end to that capability looming, nanotechnology is being explored as a means to keep the industry moving forward, adds Appenzeller.
