Type of article: Article
Summary
LOW-TEMPERATURE OPERATION IS BEING APPLIED AND CONTEMPLATED FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS RANGING FROM SINGLE-TRANSISTOR CIRCUITS FOR BASIC RESEARCH TO VLSI INTEGRATED CIRCUITS FOR ULTRA-FAST COMPUTERS. THIS PAPER OVERVIEWED ELECTRONICS BASED ON SEMICONDUCTORS ; FOR LOW TEMPERATURES THE PRIMARY MATERIAL IS SILICON, ALTHOUGH GALLIUM-ARSENIC ALSO HAS CONSIDERABLE POTENTIAL. REDUCED TEMPERATURE OPERATION OFFERS IMPROVEMENTS IN PERFORMANCE THROUGH IMPROVEMENT OF MATERIALS-RELATED PROPERTIES. SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN RELIABILITY ARE ALSO EXPECTED SINCE DEGRADATION MECHANISMS ARE THERMALLY ACTIVATED ; HOWEVER, THIS COULD BE NEGATED UNLESS PROBLEMS OF THERMAL EXPANSION MISMATCH AND CYCLING ARE OVERCOME.
