Home > News > A Carbon Nanotube Microprocessor Mature Enough to Say Hello: Three new breakthroughs make commercial nanotube processors possible
March 2nd, 2020
Abstract:
Engineers at MIT and Analog Devices have created the first fully-programmable 16-bit carbon nanotube microprocessor. Its the most complex integration of carbon nanotube-based CMOS logic so far, with nearly 15,000 transistors, and it was done using technologies that have already been proven to work in a commercial chip-manufacturing facility. The processor, called RV16X-NANO, is a milestone in the development of beyond-silicon technologies, its inventors say.
