Graphene transistor to replace Silicon transistors

Graphene transistor was discovered in 2007 by Professor Andre Geim and his team of researchers at Manchester Centre for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology. A graphene transistor, also known as a single-electron transistor, is a nanotechnology transistor made of a material similar to graphite (allotrope of carbon) and with conductivity and electrical properties much simpler and more efficient than silicon. This single-electron transistor allows one electron to pass at a time.

Computer components made from graphene are lightweight and powerful. With less processing time and withstanding higher temperatures than normal semiconductors. graphene transistors size is measured in the electron scale and are extremely sensitive. This transistor will be suitable for applications having low-voltage inputs. Gives significant power conservation and long-lasting results.
