Purdue University engineers integrated a transistor with higher-performing memory technology to create a device that can process and store information. The researchers employed a semiconductor with ferroelectric properties, and the resulting ferroelectric semiconductor field-effect transistor overcomes the efficiency limitations of ferroelectric random-access memory. Building the semiconductor from alpha indium selenide eliminated the issue of a wide band gap that prevented electrical transmission. The transistor's performance was comparable to that of current ferroelectric field-effect transistors, and could outperform those devices with additional optimization. The Purdue researchers also collaborated with Georgia Institute of Technology researchers to build a high-performance ferroelectric tunneling junction by enhancing a chip with alpha indium selenide. ..."
