the Staff of Cornell University announced its breakthrough in transistor technology. As reported in a recent issue of the journal Nature, they found a new and very effective method of obtaining experimental material known as dichalcogenide transition metals (TMD). He is an extremely slim (but with high conductivity) film, which makes it suitable for use in many high-tech developments — ranging from solar panels and finishing flexible wearable gadgets.

the Only significant drawback of dichalcogenide transition metals is the complexity of its production, resulting in massive use in electronics has so far been questionable. TMD, which is on par with graphene is considered one of the most promising materials of the near future, may expand the boundaries of Moore's law. Engineers have the opportunity to use it as a reliable and ultra-thin basis for a large number of chips, but all the problems arise precisely because of the small thickness TMD-having only three atoms. Because of this Board are very fragile and virtually doomed to failure.

Scientists from Cornell University believe that if the top of a silicon wafer to apply a mixture of diethylsulfide and the connection of hexacarbonyl metal, then place it in 26 hours in a hydrogen furnace, the material will become much stronger: out of 200 samples, the researchers were defective, only two, i.e. the success of the experiment was 99%. A similar result is more than encouraging research group, and in the coming years, she intends to improve its technology and to find commercial application. The achievements of scientists may be of interest to many electronics manufacturers, as it will help them to produce an even more delicate technique.
