ELECTRONICS:
New Age Semiconductors Pick Up the Pace

Robert F. Service

Long hampered by poor electrical qualities, low-cost electronics are now moving fast toward real applications, with the help of some clever chemistry. In a series of journal articles and meeting reports over the past few months, researchers have come up with materials that are comparable in speed to the type of low-grade silicon transistors used to run laptop displays. Some are organics, others either incorporate inorganic components or are entirely inorganic.
