Are carbon-based chips a real thing, or are they just fooling people?

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question, here is my personal opinion.

Of course it's true, and this chip has many advantages.

In the development of silicon chip, China is faced with many obstacles, EDA software, IP, wafer, production process, equipment and other technologies have been technological blockade, high-end chip industry chain is almost no China's share of the Huawei Haisi is very easy to get a chip to immediately be subjected to U.S. suppression.

But recently out of a good news, Beijing Yuanxin carbon-based integrated circuit research institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University Professor Peng Lianmou and Professor Zhang Zhiyong led the team, After many years of research and practice, to solve the long plagued by their base semiconductor materials preparation of bottlenecks, such as material purity, density and area.

Carbon-based chips have the advantage of lower cost, lower power consumption, higher efficiency, a good semiconductor material, is likely to be the next generation of transistorized integrated circuits of the most ideal materials, if the development is successful, by then the chip inside the gate of the transistor is a better carbon material.

Back in 2017, Peng Lianmiao's team developed a high-performance five-nanometer gate-length carbon nanotube CMOS device, which was the world's smallest high-performance transistor at the time, and its integrated performance is ten times higher than the best crisis transistor, but energy consumption is 3/4 less than that of the transistor of silicon material, which also appeared in the journal of natural science at that time.

Carbon-based technology will really be used in the near future in national defense science and technology, satellite navigation, weather monitoring, artificial intelligence, and medical devices, all important fields that are closely related to the life of the country and its people.

Peng Lianmao said? Relative to some fashionable new application technology, similar to the chip, such as basic research should get more attention, because it for a country's scientific and technological strength to enhance the role of the more core and support.

But I think that if put into industrial production, or to go through a long period of time, I hope they can quickly find a solution, so, to really do chip localization, not only to improve the chip R & D capabilities and production capacity, but also need to improve the country's photolithography research and development of manufacturing capacity, these technologies need to spend a very long time manpower and material resources and funds, although the difficulties, I still think the near future will be achieved! I think the near future will be realized.
