The researchers constructed a two-dimensional silicon atom transistor

Since a single atomic layer of carbon material graphene invention, researchers have developed a variety of other single atomic layer of material, including a family of materials with silicon carbide, but the silicon-ene (ie a single atomic layer of silicon) faces a dilemma yes it will work with oxygen in the air reacts rapidly and collapse. This week, researchers announced that they successfully constructed with Silylene appearances effect transistor.

Report published in "Nature Nanotechnology" on. Their silver surface to produce a large silicon alkenyl, and then covering the alumina acts as a protective layer part of the aluminum is etched away, the remaining part of the metal as the source and drain contacts, the silica surface by precipitation of aluminum, they may be used to obtain a device field effect transistor.
