In 2015 eliminated silicon technology of semiconductor industry into the nanometer era

On January 2nd news, according to a report entitled "global semiconductor technology roadmap" report of the day before the latest release shows that the world's major semiconductor manufacturers are planning to "post silicon transistor" era blueprint. It is estimated that by 2015, the global semiconductor industry will be from the current silicon technology to nanotechnology transition.

It is reported that the report is from Europe, Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan and the United States, the major semiconductor manufacturers jointly issued, is committed to the future of semiconductor manufacturing technology. At present, traditional silicon technology still has many advantages, but not long-term adaptation of the semiconductor industry "golden laws and precious rules of Moore's law".

In order to adapt to Moore's law, in reducing the size of the transistor, the semiconductor industry has developed a lot of new technologies. Nevertheless, these technologies can only be maintained for about ten years. Therefore, the industry R & D personnel continue to try other than silicon technology, such as organic molecules and carbon nanotubes.

According to the latest report, a new "nano conversion" technology is feasible, and the cost is relatively low. According to the researchers predict that by 2015, the global semiconductor industry may shift to the technology, because the current silicon technology can only be maintained until 2015
