The global chip crisis is shining a light on smartphones’ big sustainability problem

Watch Now

IBM and Samsung have teased a new vertical transistor design “breakthrough” they reckon could transform the semiconductor industry and give Moore’s Law a few years’ more life. 

The companies hailed the vertical transistor design as a major benefit to smartphones because it could reduce energy use by 85% compared to finite or fin field-effect transistors (finFET) used in today’s chips.
