Some of the key advancements in nanotechnology that impact high performance processors include:
Quantum Dots: These nano-sized semiconductor particles can be used to create highly efficient and tunable electronic devices. Carbon Nanotubes: Offering exceptional electrical conductivity and strength, carbon nanotubes can be used to develop faster and more efficient transistors. Graphene: This single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional lattice has remarkable electronic properties, potentially leading to much faster processors. 3D Integrated Circuits (3D ICs): These involve stacking silicon layers vertically, increasing the density of components and reducing the distance between them, thus enhancing performance and reducing power consumption.
