HP announced that it has developed a new way to design future nanoelectronics circuits using code theory, an approach used in various applications in mathematics, cryptography and communications. The coding technology of HP laboratories made possible what the company calls the frame architecture, where a series of nanometer-sized wires are placed on top of another series of parallel wires at an angle of 90 degrees to the previous layer, closing like a sandwich on a layer of electrically switchable materials that is between them. When the material is trapped between the two layers of crossed wires, a switch is created that represents "1" or "0" - the basic building block of computer languages.
The first device developed by the company and based on this new technology, is a demultiplexer. According to the company, it managed to produce a working device whose node size (Half-pitch Node) is 30 nanometers. It should be noted that the road map for the development of silicon predicts that 32 nanometer nodes will be on the market only in 7-8 years.
According to senior officials at HP, the code theory can be expressed in "almost perfect production capacity" using equipment that is thousands of times cheaper than the equipment required today in the current technology to produce switches on a nanometer scale. "We have invented a completely new way to design electronic connections for circuits on a nanometer scale, using the code theory, which is mainly used in cell phones and spacecraft," said Stan Williams, head of the scientific research department in the field of quantum physics at HP Laboratories and one of the company's senior executives. "By using the frame architecture we have added 50% more wires as an 'insurance policy', and we believe it will be available to produce electronic circuits with perfect output, even if the rate of defective components will almost certainly be high."
