China's 2D Chip Could Soon Be Used to Make Silicon-Free Chips
A Breakthrough in Semiconductor Technology
With the creation of a new 2D chip material, China has made significant progress in semiconductor innovation that may pave the way for silicon-free electronics. To overcome limitations in performance, energy efficiency, and production scalability, researchers have been looking into alternatives to conventional silicon-based chips. China may now be closer to commercializing next-generation chips that rely on ultra-thin, highly efficient components thanks to a breakthrough in two-dimensional (2D) materials.
