isonics.com im basically a "professional layperson" in regards to semiconductor materials .. but .. based on the above article from isonics, $10/chip additional cost may be ok for high asp devices, but SOC/large asics which are driving semi startups and networking may not benefit from this. and thats for 35deg. jxn temp reduction can be achieved thru many avenues including low voltage/power design techniques (which probably have higher roi). of course its really nice to have a new material so that you can push the envelope in addition to all the design and mecahnical techniques/inovations. doesn't seem to be a slam dunk panacea. its good though. what im curious is how pure it needs to be. isotopic seperation is extremely dificault/expensive. again, from my lay point of view, U235 seperation from U238 required billions of dollars, but thats at extremely high purity levels that i doubt is required here. anyone else have an opinion? cheers rinv
