SILICON QUANTUM DOTS FOR ELECTRONIC MEMORIES

+EFFICIENT +SMALL +INTEGRATED Memory cards and other USB keys are an integral part of our daily lives. Professor Drouin’s approach could revolutionize their design. Arrays of holes infinitely small in a layer of silicon nitride were obtained by combining e-beam...

THE CHALLENGES OF FABRICATING INFINITELY SMALL STRUCTURES

+PRECISE +SMALL +EFFICIENT Since the invention of the first microprocessor in 1971, the relentless reduction of the limits of device fabrication, from 3 microns in 1980 to 32 nanometres today, has given rise to a constant evolution of microelectronics, which should...
