Will graphene chips replace silicon chips in computer?

Silicon transistors are approaching the point where further miniaturization will no longer be possible. It is expected that once silicon transistors reach 16nm size, optical lithography will no longer be capable of making smaller images. Thus, unless all progress in transistor size is terminated and performance improvements are limited to processor architecture alone, it is very likely that chip manufacturers will move to graphene as a way to get smaller transistors. However, graphene has flaws. One example is that graphene transistors are very "leaky" compared to those made of silicon- that is, more charge can escape from them. This means that graphene chips are likely to run much hotter than silicon chips.


Is graphene better than silicon?

It is hard to answer to that question. Both materials have advantages and disadvantages. Silicon is semiconductor so you can turn it on and off and you can make numerous field effect transistors or effective solar cells. However, graphene is zero-band-gap semiconductor which is very conductive. It is not conventional semiconductor. People are still trying to introduce a band gap to graphene to yield true semiconducting graphene. Both materials are legends in the field. Each has advantage. Most likely Silicon will continue to dominate the conventional semiconductor industry and solar cells. However graphene (and graphene derivatives) will be integral part of high frequency devices, diodes, sensors, and some solar cells.

What is a graphene filter?

Graphene is a sheet of Carbon atoms, or one layer of Graphite ("lead" in a pencil). A graphene filter is a filter made of graphene.


What is the recent trend in vlsi technology?

the recent trend in vlsi technology is the 22nm technology before three months its 60nm tech. that is the device fabrication in the IC is carriedout in 22nm's.


What are the properties of graphene?

Graphene is pretty amazing. An adequate description of the properties is rather long. There is a link below to the properties section of an article on graphene.


How does graphene form?

Graphene is formed by peeling extremely thin layers of graphite off of a larger piece, in the original paper published on graphene it was done using tape.


What is graphene?

Graphene is a very thin layer of graphite. It is so thin, it is so close to being invisible!


How does the molecular structure of graphene differ from the other allotropes of carbon diamond and graphite?

The molecular structure of graphene differ from the other allotropes of carbon diamond and graphite in that graphene consist of a single layer of atoms.
