MIT finds a new way to pack more transistors on a chip

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

MIT electronics researchers develop a new way to fabricate transistors on the backend of finished dies, to keep pushing the limit of chip densities ever higher

Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer of ultra-pure silicon. The bottom-most layer, also known as the front end ...
