#IBM-Led Team Pulls Off Major Chip Feat IBM Research on Thursday announced that an alliance it leads has produced the first 7nm node test chips with functioning transistors.
The 7nm chips are the result of the first program out of IBM's 2014 US$3 billion investment in research--a five-year investment that aims to push the limits of chip technology to meet the needs of cloud computing
Using 7nm chips will allow the placement of more than 20 billion Sige switches on fingernail-sized chips,
--and it's getting increasingly expensive to make faster chips. That has led semiconductor firms to look at packing more cores onto their processors.
The team most recent advance also brings the field closer to realizing carbon nanotube transistors as a feasible replacement for silicon transistors in computer chips and in high-frequency communication devices,
The device consists of a chip with cell-trapping cups that are arranged strategically to capture

The applications of the radio chip are diverse. It can remind homeowners to ventilate regularly
First of all, they succeeded in depositing the solar cell directly onto the uneven surface of the chip.
Secondly, the chip consumes power so meagerly that energy from the miniscule solar cell spans the dark hours.
By keeping both processor and chip extremely small, the latter is extremely frugal. In addition, the researchers constructed switches that consume little energy,
which was asking for solar cells on chips at IMS around two years ago, provided the impetus to developing the solar radio chip.

Chip manufacturers have struggled to maintain Moore law, which dictates that processing power will double every 18 to 24 months,
primarily through the doubling of the number of transistors they can fit on a chip.
The more transistors that can fit on a chip, the more powerful it can be.
Chips used in computers are made currently at the 14nm scale, but going smaller has proven difficult, with 7nm the latest breakthrough.
While single-molecule transistors are nowhere near being ready to put into a chip this new research will help bring about quantum computing,
Most chips use copper interconnects to route signals around their semiconductor circuits, and these are insulated typically with a coating of tantalum nitride.
