From massive supercomputers come tiniest transistors

Visualizations of future nano-transistors

Visualizations of future nano-transistors, clockwise starting at upper left: a) The picture shows the organization of the atoms in an Ultra Thin Body (UTB) transistor and the amount of electric potential along the transistor. b) This is a visualization of the organization of the atoms in a pure material. Each atom (in red) is surrounded by a grey shell, representing the interaction field of each atom. c) Quantum dots are nanoscale particles, with diameters approximately 1000 times smaller than the diameter of human hair. This image shows the magnitude of the strain forces on the surface of a quantum dot's core. d) A quantum dot's core can have different shapes and composition. Both of these factors affect the energy levels inside a quantum dot. This figure in light blue represents the intensity of an energy level inside a quantum dot with a conic core (in red).

representation of an Ultra Thin Body transistor

This picture represents an internal representation of an Ultra Thin Body (UTB) transistor. The position of the atoms and their chemical bonds are presented along with the amount of electric potential in the transistor. The electrical potential can be seen as colored surfaces overlapped with the structure.
