MIT comes up with simple Graphene semiconductor production

Cut and Paste copycat chips

Boffins at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method which uses graphene to help photocopy semiconductor wafers.

This could reduce the cost of wafer technology and enable production of devices made from expensive, exotic materials.

Graphene is one of those more super-sexy materials makes a pretty rubbish semi-conductor because it is difficult to “switch off” the flow of electrons.

MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics, instead looked at graphene’s mechanical properties. Graphene is ultra-thin and Teflon-like, and could form a useful, barely perceptible layer between two surfaces.
