TeraHertz Transistors Posted: 21 Jul 2011 11:25 PM PDT Terahertz transistors are the new generation semiconductor transistors developed by Intel Corporation. The researchers in Intel had developed a new transistor structure that maintains Moore's law and would lead them into the discovery of these high speed new generation transistors. The terahertz transistor basically has higher speed (in GHz), High power efficiency, and high heat reduction capacity. These transistors have a fast switching rate of more than trillion times per sec. They also have the capability to perform 50 to 100 times faster than normal traditional transistors. The first terahertz transistor was only capable for handling 3GHz. But the latest terahertz transistors is capable of handling more than 800 GHz (scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign have discovered a transistor with a frequency of 845GHz and 300GHz faster than previous discovery).By using this technology, we can create lot of real time functioning and powerful computing techniques such as grid computing, nano-computing and other researches. Structure of Normal Terahertz Transistors Structure of Intel Terahertz Transistor Terahertz transistors basically contain three major changes than other conventional transistors. They have thicker source and drain regions and a special ultra thin insulating silicon layer too. These silicon layers integrate below the source...
