IBM builds graphene chip thats 10,000 times faster, using standard CMOS processes
2014-01-30 15:28:28| Extremetech
Engineers at IBM Research are claiming to have built the world's most advanced graphene-based computer chip, with performance that's 10,000 times better than previous graphene ICs. The key to the breakthrough is a new manufacturing technique that allows the graphene to be deposited on the chip without it being damaged (something that has heretofore been very hard to achieve). Perhaps more importantly, though, this new method is actually compatible with standard silicon CMOS processes. In short, we are closer than ever before to realizing a commercial graphene computer chip.
