#CHIPS: "Carbon Nanotube Computer Integrated With CMOS"

The world's first carbon nanotube computer has been integrated onto a CMOS chip by researchers at Stanford University, heralding a new era of carbon-based circuitry on standard silicon wafers. Carbon nanotube transistors are higher speed and lower power than silicon transistors, but until now have been impossible to insert into the CMOS design flow. Now Stanford University researchers claim to have surmounted these problems, enabling carbon nanotube transistors to be integrated into standard cells on CMOS wafers: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog

Carbon nanotube computers on silicon wafer aim for smaller, more energy-efficient CMOS processors.
