Japan invented a power-saving semiconductor device

Japanese scientists have developed semiconductor devices that reduce power consumption in semiconductor chips by more than 90%.

The research group at Japan's Hokkaido University said the new invention will help extend the life of batteries used in smart phones and reduce power consumption in digital home electronics products.

Katsuhiro Tomioka of this research group said the new product consumes less power than the theoretical limit of conventional semiconductors, and every electronic device using this product can Preserving power, helping to reduce electricity consumption when the device is in standby mode.

After successfully arranging microscopic pieces of metal with a diameter of only 80 nanometers with a high density on the surface of a silicon sheet, Japanese scientists have created a semiconductor device by combining these metal ends. into an electrical circuit, creating a transverse effect of electrons, the phenomenon of cathode electrons passing through joints between pieces of metal and silicon, whereby the semiconductor device consumes less power.

Because semiconductor devices can be used to create larger circuits that connect together, technology companies around the world are racing to develop a kind of semiconductor device that uses electronic effects across walls. , and regard it as an essential technology for the generation of next-generation electronic circuits.
