Scientists discover 2D semiconducting material for electronics made of tin monoxide
Q. Team of researchers have discovered a new 2D semiconducting material for electronics made up of ___________.- Published on 22 Feb 16a. tin and oxygen
b. carbon and oxygen
c. hydrogen and oxygen
d. lithium and oxygen
ANSWER: tin and oxygen
Team led by US scientists have discovered a new 2D semiconducting material for electronics that paves the way for computers and smartphones which consume less power. Semiconductor is made up of 2 elements- tin and oxygen or tin monoxide(SnO) which is a layer of 2D material only one atom thick though electric charges move faster within it than 3D material such as silicon. Material can be used in transistors, computer processors and graphic processors. New 2D material will lead to manufacturing of transistors smaller and faster than those in use today.
