Return of the gigahertz wars: New Chinese transistor uses bismuth instead of silicon to potentially sock it to Intel and TSMC with 40% more speed
the Peking team has used bismuth in both the semiconductor and high-dielectric oxide. It's a post-transitional metal, which also applies to lead, gallium, indium and tin, among others. Silicon, by ...
