Fabricating Single-Atom Transistors (VIDEO)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Caption

To realize the full potential of tiny transistors, researchers must find a way to make many copies of these notoriously difficult-to-fabricate components. This animation shows the step-by-step recipe designed by NIST scientists and their colleagues to produce these atomic-scale devices.
