With current silicon-based transistors hitting a wall at around 14nm, this accomplishment is probably the biggest step towards CMOS scaling down to 7nm and below. As we've covered in the past ...

giving its foundries a head-start as they transition past 7nm. To reach 5nm and 4nm nodes, silicon wafer manufacturers are not only embracing EUV technology but are also looking to move beyond ...

Patton: We’re talking 5nm or beyond where we need new transistor materials. SE: Are we really moving to 5nm? Or will that be too expensive? Patton: That’s a tricky question because what is 5nm?

IBM, working with GlobalFoundries, Samsung, SUNY, and various equipment suppliers, has produced the world's first 7nm chip with functional transistors. While it should be stressed that commercial ...
