Scientists from Australia, Britain and United States developed a technology that allows to create ultra-thin wires. They managed to create a conductor whose height is only one atom, and width - four atoms. Previously, the production of wire at the atomic level was very difficult.
The resulting conductor made of silicon and phosphorus, has, according to Michelle Simmons , a professor at the University of New South Wales, resistance comparable to its copper counterparts in modern processors, which have larger cross section. Thus, this development suggests that Moore's law has the potential to continue to exist even a few more processors generations . Related Products :
