IBM Scientists discover way to shrink transistor size using carbon nanotubes
Q. Researchers have found a new way to shrink transistors beyond a certain size by making them from parallel rows of________ nanotubes.- Published on 05 Oct 15a. Carbon
b. Hydrogen
c. Helium
d. Uranium
ANSWER: Carbon
The limit of industry’s capacity to shrink transistors beyond a certain size in the semi conductor business is called red brick wall. But IBM scientists have now found a new way to make transistors smaller through the use of parallel rows of carbon based nanotubes. Advancement is based on a fresh way to connect super thin metal writes to nanotubes, making it easier to shrink the width of the wires without increasing electrical resistance.
