“Possible Future: Case #UTokyo_IIS”
Now updated on the first Tuesday of every month!
[ New Article ]
Tiny but mighty: sophisticated next-gen transistors hold great promise
magazine.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/e…
Researchers led by Professor Masaharu Kobayashi have produced a new type of transistor, which is a key component of electronics. The transistor channel was constructed from indium oxide doped with gallium to increase carrier mobility by suppressing carrier scattering. The gallium-doped indium oxide layer was included in a gate-all-around transistor structure to realize both high carrier mobility and reliability. The transistor outperforms similar devices in reliability and performance.
