| High, not flat: nanowires for a new chip architecture Silicon is the most prevalent material in electronics, no matter whether for mobile phones, solar cells or computers. Nanometer-sized wires made of silicon have a large potential for a completely new chip architecture. But this requires a detailed investigation and understanding of their electronic properties which is technologically challenging due to the ultra-small size of the nanowires. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and the FZD were able to describe the electrical resistance and current flow inside individual silicon nanowires. The results were published in the journal NANO LETTERS. >>mehr<< |
