Low Power Hand-Helds

NYT

In Wikipedia we can read:

"Integration challenges
The primary challenges to integrating nonplanar multigate devices into conventional semiconductor manufacturing processes include:


  • Fabrication of a thin silicon "fin" tens of nanometers wide
  • Fabrication of matched gates on multiple sides of the fin"


Is this the wave of the future?

My friends Jaime Ramos, and Jesús Urias took a solid state physics class with me. Our professor was Feliciano Sánchez Sinencio. This was forty years ago. When I read about the other-worldly developments at Intel, I wonder.

This picture above shows "buildings" in  waferland, the flat world of Intel changed, now they can build up.

And what about us?

I am teaching math in Guerrero, Jesús physics in San Luis Potosí, and Jaime Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas. Our professor is retired.

We wasted forty years.

China and India didn't; we have to face consequences.
