New technological way in Russia processing technologies are created on the basis of gallium arsenide instead of silicon
- Mar 21
Ambitious startups are launched every day around the world. Creating an unusual project is a big risk for the founder. But a successful business project can not only attract investors, but also to completely turn the idea of modern realities and advanced technologies.
So, a large breakthrough in the electronics market was the development of our compatriots - Oleg Emeraldov and his team. The newest technique allows you to create microprocessors based on gallium arsenide instead of silicon.
This semiconductor crystal is used in infrared optics, opto and microelectronics. Evaluating the advantages of Gallium, it is worth noting its main differences from the usual silicon. First, the mobility of electrons of the new element is huge. Secondly, due to the widely forbidden zone, Gillee retains its properties at high temperatures.
Another feature is a small presence of noise in electronic circuits. And the chief trump card, which for many years only dreamed, is the ability to work at frequencies of hundreds of MHz or even a few GHz. For comparison: silicon gives only a few tens of MHz. There are other qualities proving the superiority of the material.
With Gluff Arsenide, you can create a three-dimensional architecture of semiconductor devices. This will not only reduce the power consumption to four times, but also to increase the speed of action.
In general, no vain Arsenide Galli was called the "material of the future". He came to shift silicon, whose technological potential is close to exhaustion.
Very soon the release of the domestic project Sfera. Details about the new digital ecosystem can be found by reference. Startup is open to investors and thankful for support!
Initially, young Russian founders wanted to launch a project in the UK. However, their perennial expectations were not crowned with success, they did not give an idea abroad. Intel and AMD did not want to see competitors in their field, so inserted sticks in the wheels of the alternative technical process.
In 2016, innovative technology was tried on native land. The technique was used in the defense industry. And the development continues until now.
With the use of gallium, more technological, powerful and compact chargers are already produced. They are in demand all over the world. The whole range of material properties is a good reason for using schemes based on it in modern gadgets, satellite and high-frequency radar devices.
For this reason, the leading manufacturers of microelectronics felt a threat to the new Russian technology. So, Gluff Arsenide as a basis for processors really can compete with familiar silicon.
The world stands on the threshold of the total technological way, because the new element opens up large-scale perspectives. And the need to replace silicon, according to experts, has long been long.
Now, Russia in any conditions will be able to create processors that are superior to the characteristics known worldwide. Does the mass transition from silicon to Arsenide Gallium? Will Russia be able to take his niche in new realities?
