'Living' electrodes breathe new life into traditional silicon electronics

Summary

Nutrition label

92% Informative

Osaka University is exploring another way to improve device performance.

When heated appropriately, small areas in a VO2 layer transform from insulating to metallic.

These metallic regions can carry charge, thus behaving as tiny dynamic electrodes.

Researchers exploited this behavior to produce 'living' microelectrodes that selectively enhanced the response of silicon photodetectors to terahertz light.
