This weeks AW&ST has a brief blurb stating that TI has successfully
fabricated a quantum resonance transistor. The active area is said to
be 0.01-0.02 microns. No information on speed was given. It said that
practical applications were 10 years off, but that they expected
devices based on this technology to be 1000 times faster than anything
available today. Expected application include single chip
supercomputers.
Anyone have more information on this?

The articles I've read indicate that they expect these babies to exhibit switching times on the order of 100 femtoseconds or so. But it's probably too early for them to be sure, one might think. Sure wouldn't bother me to be able to do things 5000 times faster or so.... > Bob P. > -- > Bob Pendleton, speaking only for myself. > UUCP Address: decwrl!esunix!bpendlet or utah-cs!esunix!bpendlet > > Reality is what you make of it. -- Dave Haynie "The 32 Bit Guy" Commodore-Amiga "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy Amiga -- It's not just a job, it's an obsession
