日前,伊利诺伊大学厄本那-香槟分校的研究者宣称他们已经取得了重要的技术突破,采用铟镓磷化物和镓砷化物材料开发出据称为业界新型的光晶体管,这种晶体管可用于信号处理和其他应用。据研究者表示,光子在芯片中扮演通常电子的角色。 Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have claimed that they have made significant technological breakthroughs using indium gallium phosphide and gallium arsenide materials to develop phototransistors, said to be new in the industry, that can be used to signal Processing and other applications. According to the researchers, photons play a common electronic role in the chip.
