110 GHz Device Made By Adding Fluorine to the Silicon
A simple tweak to the way common silicon transistors are made could allow faster, cheaper mobile phones and digital cameras, say UK researchers. By adding Fluorine to the silicon they were able to go faster and that they did, by reaching 110GHz!
To achieve the speed gain, researchers at the University of Southampton added fluorine to the silicon devices. The technique uses existing silicon manufacturing technology meaning it should be quick and easy to deploy. "It just takes a standard technology and adds one extra step," said Professor Peter Ashburn at the University of Southampton, who carried out the work. "This is a really cheap method."
