Yes, they are making transistors out of plastic[1]. ”We coat everything on that, then peel it off and reuse the glass a carriers which means we can use silicon equipment.”
That they manage to get this to work at all is amazing. I view this as a technology demonstrator more than anything else. It looks like there's a pent up demand for low end processing that this might fill.
Who knows, maybe Sam Zeloof can use this process in his garage. 8)

- tlb 5y agoThere's a huge demand for low-end processing, but it's less clear if there's a huge demand for less-power-efficient processing. Anything with batteries will have to spend more on batteries. It could be good for automotive if they can hit the temperature range specs. Cars have lots of small CPUs and a few milliwatts when running isn't significant.
