台灣半導體研發再突破，運算能力突破5個世代、總計提升10倍！
清華大學電機系暨光電所副教授劉昌樺、物理系教授鄭弘泰、電機系暨電子所的特聘教授邱博文團隊成功開發出僅有2個原子大小、僅0.6奈米大的二維材料積體電路核心，該核心運用新穎的二維層狀磁性材料（Fe3GeTe2），可彷彿積木自由堆疊石墨烯等材料，讓晶片核心可更大幅度客製化，預計5-10年可實際用到業界。
Taiwan's semiconductor research and development has made another breakthrough, and the computing power has broken through 5 generations, with a total increase of 10 times! Liu Changhua, associate professor of Department of Electrical Engineering and Institute of Optoelectronics, Tsinghua University, Zheng Hongtai, professor of Department of Physics, and Qiu Bowen, distinguished professor of Department of Electrical Engineering and Institute of Electronics, Tsinghua University successfully developed a two-dimensional material integrated circuit core with a size of only 2 atoms and a size of only 0.6 nanometers. , The core uses a novel two-dimensional layered magnetic material (Fe3GeTe2), which can freely stack graphene and other materials like building blocks, allowing the chip core to be customized to a greater extent. It is expected to be practically used in the industry in 5-10 years.
半導體發展都遵循摩爾定律，隨著製程技術的提升，每18個月效能就會加倍，目前半導體都是用三維材料製造，為讓半導體可以更小、運算能力更佳，會需要更高的製造工藝與成本，但仍難以克服漏電的缺陷，也因此讓半導體的發展趨緩。
The development of semiconductors follows Moore's Law. With the improvement of process technology, the performance will double every 18 months. At present, semiconductors are made of three-dimensional materials. In order to make semiconductors smaller and have better computing power, higher manufacturing will be required. process and cost, but it is still difficult to overcome the defect of leakage, which has slowed down the development of semiconductors.
此情況將有望突破，劉昌樺團隊開發出新型的異質結構（凡德瓦爾異質結構），該結構包含新穎的二維層磁性材料和只有2個原子大小厚度的二維絕緣體構成「磁穿隧電極」，突破過去只能用光操控該材質的困境，在劉昌樺團隊的努力下，用電就可操控材質，更有利於產業界實際運用。

This situation is expected to break through. Liu Changhua's team has developed a new type of heterostructure (Van der Waals heterostructure), which contains a novel two-dimensional layer of magnetic material and a two-dimensional insulator with a thickness of only 2 atoms to form a "magnetic tunneling electrode". , to break through the predicament that only light can be used to control the material in the past. With the efforts of Liu Changhua's team, electricity can be used to control the material, which is more conducive to the practical application of the industry.
不同於傳統半導體無法拆解、組裝，劉昌樺說，該材質突破傳統的限制，可以單獨拆解、組裝，就像是積木般和石墨烯等其他二維半導體材料結合，未來實際運用到產業，可讓半導體客製化的自由度更高，也讓半導體材料組合有更多可能性。
Unlike traditional semiconductors that cannot be disassembled and assembled, Liu Changhua said that this material breaks through traditional limitations and can be disassembled and assembled separately, just like building blocks combined with other two-dimensional semiconductor materials such as graphene. The freedom of semiconductor customization is higher, and the combination of semiconductor materials has more possibilities.
至於該技術要用到半導體產晶圓，劉昌樺評估還有些問題要解決，主要受限於材料生產，如其中用到的材料包含二維層磁性材料、二維絕緣體，若要量化生產可能還要5-10年時間。
As for the use of semiconductor wafers in this technology, Liu Changhua assessed that there are still some problems to be solved, which are mainly limited by material production. For example, the materials used include two-dimensional layer magnetic materials and two-dimensional insulators. If quantitative production is required, it may be necessary to 5-10 years.
在國科會支持下，劉昌樺團隊開發出的新型結構讓台灣半導體技術更上一層，更解決過去無法用電來操控該材質的問題，有望成為新一代積體電路的技術核心，國科會表示將有助於提升台灣半導體國際競爭力，該研究成果刊登於國際重要期刊、IF高達39的《自然奈米科技》（Nature Nanotechnology），並選為該期刊7月份的封面。
With the support of the National Science Council, the new structure developed by Liu Changhua's team has brought Taiwan's semiconductor technology to a higher level and solved the problem that the material could not be controlled by electricity in the past. It is expected to become the technical core of a new generation of integrated circuits, the National Science Council said It will help to enhance the international competitiveness of Taiwan's semiconductors. The research results were published in an important international journal, "Nature Nanotechnology" (IF 39), and was selected as the cover of the journal in July.
