Junctionless Transistor Could Simplify Chip Making

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."

    I dunno, I think you're way off base with your comment. It doesn't pass my litmus test for thoughtful commentary.

    I didn't see anything that suggested fabrication would be easy.

    What about this part from TFA?

    These structures are easy to fabricate even on a miniature scale which leads to the major breakthrough in potential cost reduction

    ... Just sayin' ...
