“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. How did you feel about the "Possible Future" depicted in this article? Vote on your expectations!
