"...recently fabricated a flexible transistor that operates at 110 gigahertz"
I know there have been other transistors from R&D projects which operate at 690+ ghz as well. But does anyone with much better EE and chip manufacturing experience than me know how this 110 ghz transistor might translate to actual chip/IC speeds, if this thing were scaled up and produced?
- wiml 10y agoI'm not an EE, but if that 110 GHz is the transistor's Ft or gain-bandwidth product, then I think that's a respectable but not exceptional transistor speed— something you'd get from a silicon-wafer process a few generations ago. Which is actually pretty nice, because it means you could use this flexible process to produce actual computational elements, not just displays and things.
