A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IIT-Gn), has developed a scalable ultra-thin insulating material for advanced semiconductor devices, using titanium diboride (TiB2)-derived nano-sheets. This new material, produced through a simple, scalable room temperature method, offers performance suited for high-speed, low-power semiconductor devices that control electrical flow in thin transistors with high precision while also preventing energy loss, said an official at IIT-Gn.
