#NANOTECHNOLOGY: "IBM Adds Photonics to Silicon with III-V Nanowires"

A new era of semiconductors is being proposed by IBM by combining III-V nanowires like gallium arsenide (GaAs) to traditional silicon CMOS circuitry. R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog

IBM adds a strained gallium arsenide nanowire (orange) to provide optical capabilities to silicon chips.
