Siliconene was successfully made into a transistor for the first time

A team of Italian and U.S. researchers created the first silicon-based transistors. Their paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology describes how to develop this notoriously discerning material.

Siliconene is a material made of single-atom-thick silicon, and like graphene, it has been proven to have superior electrical properties, which means that it will be of great use in future electronic products, especially people. Get faster or smaller computer chips with unlimited hope.

The problem is that siliconene is very difficult to prepare, and it is even more difficult to use sheets of siliconene to complete the job. It has been eight years since physicists proposed the theory of how silylene works. Since then, many teams have tried to create this material, but most have failed.

It has been found that letting a sheet of siliconene material act as a key to a series of problems that hinders its implementation. In this new attempt, the researchers not only prepared this material, but also found a way to tame it to make micro-transistors.

According to the report of the Physicist Organization Network on February 4 (Beijing time), in order to allow this nano-scale material to cooperate, researchers for the first time generated some silicon oxide layers on the aluminum strips coated with aluminum oxide. Once formed, the layer of siliconene is stripped from the culture medium and the silver is repelled to the other side of the silicon dioxide wafer, which is then shaped to allow the monolayer of silylene to be used as the electrical contact of the transistor.

The team reported that they have created several of these transistors and have stability in vacuum. They also claim that so far, the performance of siliconene has not lived up to the theoretical assumptions that predict its properties.

Although they have technically created silicon-based transistors, it is unclear whether this process can be used on a large scale in commercial applications. There is much more research to be done.

If it can overcome difficulties, team members believe that the application of silicon in electronic components in the future will be easier than graphene. After all, most of the current chip designs are silicon-based. (Reporter Fang Linlin)

Stainless Steel Insert

Self-tapping thread inserts in steel stainless and carbon steel are screwed into preformed or predrilled holes and cut their own threads into the wall for permanent installation. Eliminates the time and expense of tapping. Provides a strong wear and vibration resistant thread.
