Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double roughly every 24 months, continues to be the guiding principle of the ...

For example, in the production of advanced microprocessors, CD-SEM is used to measure the width of nanoscale transistor gates, ensuring they meet the design specifications for optimal performance and ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...
