Employees of the Japanese research company Unisantis Electronics informed about their intention to develop and launch sale of three-dimensional transistors which will be able to work on a frequency up to 50 GHz, writes The Register.

Representatives of the company declare that new transistors SGT (Surrounding Gate Transistor) will be able to work 10 times faster, than modern microprocessors.

SGT will represent a silicon rod with memory cells, electric contacts and other components around.

According to the developers, the new transistor will allow to reduce distance of electrons’ path, will emit less heat, and its manufacture is cheaper than modern flat microchips.

Development of the three-dimensional transistor is lead by Unisantis Electronics’ technical director, Fudsio Masuoka, known as the inventor of flash-memory.
