IBM Builds IC Around Nanotube Molecule

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., March 28, 2006 -- IBM announced this week that its researchers have built the first complete electronic integrated circuit (IC) around a single carbon nanotube molecule, a new material that shows promise for providing enhanced performance over today’s standard silicon semiconductors. IBM said the achievement is significant because the circuit was built using standard semiconductor processes and used a single molecule as the base for all components in the circuit, rather than linking together individually constructed components. This can simplify manufacturing and...Read full article

    electronics
    That branch of science involved in the study and utilization of the motion, emissions and behaviors of currents of electrical energy flowing through gases, vacuums, semiconductors and conductors, not to be confused with electrics, which deals primarily with the conduction of large currents of electricity through metals.
    nanotube
    A nanotube, also known as a nanotubule or simply a tube-like structure, is a nanoscale cylindrical structure composed of various materials, including carbon, boron nitride, or other compounds. Nanotubes have unique physical and chemical properties due to their small size and specific atomic arrangement, making them of significant interest in various scientific and technological fields. One of the most well-known types of nanotubes is the carbon nanotube (CNT), which is composed of carbon...
