CARBON CHIP

•Electronics without silicon is unbelievable, but it will come true with the evolution of Diamond or Carbon chip.

What is carbon chip?

diamond chip or Carbon chip is an electronic chip manufactured using carbon as a wafer.

The major component in carbon chip is CNT( Carbon Nano Tube)

• CNT is defined as a nano dimensional tube made of graphite layers.

CNT( CARBON NANO TUBE)

CNT’s can be classified in to two types.

• SINGLE WALLED CNT

•MULTI WALLED CNT

Properties of CNT

•Average diameter of 1.2nm to 1.4nm•Highly stable•High current density•Good thermal conductivity•High tensile strength•High density

PRODUCTION METHODS OF CNT

There are three methods . ARC DISCHARGE METHOD. PULSED LASER EVAPORATION. SILICON CARBIDE VAPORISATION

ARC DISCHARGE METHOD

PULSED LASER EVAPORATION

Advantages of Carbon chip

SMALLER SIZE

WORKS AT HIGHER TEMPERATURE

FASTER THAN SILICON CHIP

LARGER POWER HANDLING CAPACITY

APPLICATIONS

•Carbon transistor•High speed & power efficient chips IBM has demonstrated a (9nm)

carbon transistor — the smallest CNT ever made, and significantly smaller than any commercial silicon transistor. Beyond its diminutive size, the 9nm CNT is capable of switching at very low voltages (0.5V), thus consuming less power than its silicon counterparts — but it can also carry four times as much current.

CONCLUSION

CARBON CHIP will replace need of silicon in every aspect in coming years
