Technology:
Yutaka Ohno of Nagoya University and his
research team members developed a transparent semiconductor integrated circuit
that transmits more than 90% of light. They employed carbon nanotube for
transistors and wiring. It will be possible to build frameless electronic paper
should the transparent semiconductor be put on a transparent display. The new
product is the result of the joint research with Aalto University of Finland.
They built a logic circuit for computing,
an oscillation circuit that divides signal transmission time, and a data storage
circuit on trial. Each of the three components is about 0.5 mm square, and it
is possible to build a micro processing unit by combining these three
components. The research team used vacuum equipment for part of the production
process. In the future, it plans to perform the whole production process in the
atmosphere with the help of an ink-jet printer. Please click here for further information (in Japanese).
