the semiconductor industry has been looking at ways to make the transistor
smaller and faster. As chip dies got down below 10 microns and
transistors are working at the atomic level they have hit a wall that nature
has in place that they have been trying to get over.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=184365017-10082007>Well, it looks
like they may have found a way to get over the wall. Check out this
article (<A

and see what the latest transistor technology is. This article goes
into some really heavy technical descriptions of what is being worked
on. Very interesting.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
