Junctionless Transistor Could Simplify Chip Making

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday February 22, 2010 @03:16AM from the conjunction-junction-i-got-yer-function dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A novel transistor architecture has been developed by a team of researchers led by Jean-Pierre Colinge at Tyndall National Institute at Cork, Ireland. Not many technology developments can be truly described as 'a breakthrough' or "revolutionary' but this might just fit the bill. It does depend on the extremely small dimensions of silicon nanowires just a few dozens of atoms wide. EE Times picked up on an announcement of a paper on the topic being published by Nature Nanotechnology."

Yes, they mean "please fund my research".

I didn't see anything that suggested fabrication would be easy.
I saw the headline but thats about all I read.

Yep, the A8 gets 2 DMIPs/Mhz vs the P3 at ~1.1 DMIPS/Mhz.
