Intel has developed a new transistor, called TerraHertz. The transistors are made up of semiconductors using high-k dielectrics, epitaxial wafers, and a real shocker – silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. (Which means we are still paying for processed sand) The company will release 10-20 GHz. series with these transistors probably in 2005 but rumour says that they will use pieces of this new technology in 0.09 micron chips in the first half of 2003.
