MIT's New Chip fabrication approach could lead to more efficient computers
Posted: February 1, 2016
Today, computer chips are built by stacking layers of different materials and etching patterns into them.
But in the latest issue of Advanced Materials, MIT researchers report the first chip-fabrication technique that
enables significantly different materials to be deposited in the same layer. They also report that, using the
technique, they have built chips with working versions of all the circuit components necessary to produce a
general-purpose computer.
