The Solution
Change the Semiconductor Material
- III-V transistors perform at least 5X better than Si based transistors at same node. Our projection is that logic performance in our technology should be equivalent to a 3 to 4 node jump in Si technology
- III-V transistors also make much better analog circuitry which results in far superior mixed signal performance that is key to today’s SoCs
- III-V materials make for excellent photonic devices
Plus INTEGRATE Novel and Disruptive Capabilities
- New active and passive optical devices to overcome on- and off-chip interconnect
limitations of current Silicon CMOS solutions
- Novel OE bipolar transistor and thyristor action without stored charge enables very high speeds PLUS act as photo detectors and emitters
- New applications made possible by novel devices and integration
- Optoelectronic functions implemented as co-packaged discrete devices replaced with single integrated device
