“7nm node has remained out of reach due to a number of fundamental technology barriers,” says IBM, with the most notable among them being the material properties of silicon itself. IBM’s group of collaborators, which includes Samsung and the SUNY Polytechnic Institute, replaced pure silicon with a silicon-germanium…
