So what is the theoretical speed limit of a transistor?

I know the current record is a Graphene FET at 100 GHz

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:03:30 2010 No.1609313 It's something like that. But forget about it OP. I read that there was something about carbon transistors that makes them unsuitable for being employed in CPUs and stuff

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:13:36 2010 No.1609354 velocity = frequency x wavelength c = f x lambda minimum length = planck's length maximum possible frequency = c / planck's length

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:14:40 2010 No.1609359 >>1609354 Technically one plank length could only be half a wavelength.

>>	Skunkworks !e1337Hykks Mon Aug 16 22:14:40 2010 No.1609360 >>1609354 yes yes, but is there some material limit below that?

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:17:48 2010 No.1609372 >>1609360 the limit depends on how fast it travels through the medium. It will be less than c in all but extreme theoretical cases.

>>	Skunkworks !e1337Hykks Mon Aug 16 22:18:12 2010 No.1609380 >>1609372 so the only limit is the speed of light in the medium, and heat dissipation?

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:19:15 2010 No.1609383 >>1609380 I am sure there are quantum effects to consider, but I'm too high to think about them.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:20:18 2010 No.1609388 >>1609380 >>1609383 Quantum tunelling becomes a huge problem when you get to scales of about 10 nm and below.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 16 22:22:52 2010 No.1609397 >>1609388 pffff, quantum tunneling is just something they made up to explain how the sun fuses some of it's shit. I know because this little frog told me.
