Remember GaAs? It was the Future in 1980.
- deepnotderp 9y agoHe's talking about germanium channel FinFETs, GaAs was intended to entirely replace silicon, which probably was never going to happen.
- Tobba_ 9y agoGaAs logic is probably happening at some point, just not yet. All improvements like that which would be incredibly expensive to develop will be held off on until all cheaper options have been exhausted. It does seem to be slowly moving though.
- woadwarrior01 9y agoGaAs is gallium arsenide, which still has applications in high frequency transistors.
