Looking at [1], the price of low-volume of single gram of high quality carbon nanotubes is $250. Volume prices go further down.
According to [2] carbon nanotube layer could weight 0.1 gram/square-meter.
So basically we'll spend $25 for a square meter of chips(more precisely dies) - that's fractions of a cent per gbyte.Pretty insignificant.

- saosebastiao 11y agoThe price of raw silicon is also extremely low, and just like silicon, the processing is the expensive part.
- minthd 11y agoSure the processing is the expensive part - but his requires regular chip processing("cmos process") as far as i understand.
