IBM Looks Ahead to Even Smaller Transistors

| | Comments (0)

Computer chips have become more powerful by cramming more and smaller transistors into the same space, and the industry right now is moving from technology where the key size measurement is 65 nanometers to 45-nanometer technology. But as CNET News reports, IBM is looking a couple technology generations ahead, to 22-nanometer devices. The challenge they're tackling: Technology to produce such small features doesn't yet exist, and it's not obvious how to create it.
