New transistor design may kick off race to 10GHz

Japanese company Unisantis, founded in 2004 to develop and commercialize a new type of transistor, has announced a 24-month collaborative research agreement with Sinapore's Institute of Microelectronics (IME) to work on the device. Unisantis is making some huge claims about this new transistor, a three-dimensional design called the Stacked Gate Transistor (SGT) that the company claims could boost processor clockspeeds north of 20GHz to a possible 50GHz.
