Researchers develop first junctionless transistor

Scientists at the Tyndall National Institute in Ireland have built what they say is the first connection-less transistor in the world. This is significant as it could change the way 10-nanomemter semiconductors are made, simplifying the process. The basic idea involves a control gate built around a silicon wire that is a few dozen atoms in diameter. The gate can squeeze the electron channel to nothing and not require junctions or doping to do so.
