Bangalore: Scientists from IBM
and California Institute of Technology are trying to build the next
generation chips- smaller and more powerful, with the combination of
DNA and nanotechnology. The experimental breakthrough can be a step
towards developing a new technique for making smaller
microprocessors beyond the traditional manufacturing processes.
In the past few
years, chipmakers have been able to make tinier and powerful
products, but this advancement has pushed the limits of
manufacturing techniques. According to IBM, The revolutionary
method, developed at its Almaden Research Center in California and
the California Institute of Technology, can help it to make computer
chips from the molecule, by arranging DNA structures on the surface
of manufactured semiconductor material. Microchips are mainly used
in computers, mobile phones and a broad range of electronic devices
and, as chipmakers compete to develop ever-smaller chips at cheaper
prices, designers are struggling to cut costs.
Spike Narayan, Research Manager, IBM said, "The biological
structures like DNA actually offer some very reproducible,
repetitive kinds of patterns that we can actually leverage in
semiconductor processes. The combination of this directed
self-assembly with today's fabrication technology for
high-resolution positioning of nano-objects eventually can lead to
substantial savings in the most expensive and challenging part of
the chip making process." This combination can also help processor
designers to keep pace with Moore's Law - the 40-plus-year-old
prediction by Gordon Moore that the number of transistors on a chip
will double every two years.
The cost involved in shrinking features to improve performance is a
limiting factor in keeping pace with Moore's Law and a concern
across the semiconductor industry. Currently, the semiconductor
industry is able to make processors using 22 nanometer manufacturing
technology. IBM is also looking for the DNA to act as scaffolds or
miniature circuit boards for the highly precise assembly of chip
components, like nanotubes, nanowires and nanoparticles. After using
this technique, manufacturers are likely to build 'significantly
smaller' chips than has been possible with current semiconductor
fabrication technology.
