At ICS, we are pushing the limits of small switches to compete with transistors. We are investigating many technologies including Cmos, spintronic, mechanical resonators, nano- electro-mechanical switches, and different fabrication techniques at the micro and nanoscale. We are attempting to optimize these technologies in different directions, including scale, efficiency, energy consumption, compatibility with fabrication techniques, etc. In the figure, an SOI chip containing mechanical resonators is tested under a microscope.
