Nanotechnology To Replace Conventional CMOS

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 17, 2004 @07:50AM from the until-there's-an-ipod-nano dept.

neutron_p writes "There is a lot of hype around nanotechnology these days, but some things are going to work in a near future anyway. IMEC announced a program aimed at seeking alternatives to the current CMOS manufacturing technologies using nanotechnologies. IMEC will investigate the use of semiconducting wires, carbon nanotubes and spintronics or electron spin." (IMEC describes itself as "Europe's leading independent research center" in the fields of microelectronics and nanotechnology.)

Useless article. by GISGEOLOGYGEEK · 2004-10-17 08:34 · Score: -1, Troll

What a useless article.

Nothing more than pure hype put out by one company.

ohhh this month we shall investigate this great thing! next month we will investigate that great thing! as if in 3 months time they will know all that is needed to know to fully replace the way things are done today.

Timothy, how about giving us an article that actually tells us something about a technology instead of simply hyping one companies plans? This looked more like a stock promotion than anything else.

And the outright mistakes!

'chirality' for example is not the term regarding the way the diameter and structure of nanotubes form.

Chirality refers to handedness ... left or right handedness. Perhaps the tubes form different in a left handed way than in a righ handed way but you'd never know that that was the point they were making, it was just a buzz word thrown out to make you go ohhhh ahhhh oohhhhh!

You're a fucking moron.

This is Slashdot. You're _supposed_ to use acronymns.

What the fuck. If you do not know them, you're a fucking idiot.

Fuck off.
