Research discovery could revolutionize semiconductor manufacture

Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - 16:01 in Physics & Chemistry

A completely new method of manufacturing the smallest structures in electronics could make their manufacture thousands of times quicker, allowing for cheaper semiconductors. Instead of starting from a silicon wafer or other substrate, as is usual today, researchers have made it possible for the structures to grow from freely suspended nanoparticles of gold in a flowing gas.
