Life beyond silicon

Atomic Layer Deposition chamber

The increasing density and speed of today’s semiconductor devices has hit the limits of silicon’s capability — and a Virginia Tech microelectronics team is developing a technology to not just continue semiconductor miniaturization for logic and memory chips, but also to colocate photonics applications with silicon-based circuitry, including light generation by lasers and more efficient solar-cells.
