American scientists have developed a semiconductor chip silicon substitutes

According to foreign media reports, U.S. scientists have developed in another element called gallium alternative methods of silicon in semiconductor chips. This element can produce a faster current. Indium, gallium and arsenic, a mixture of three metal transistor conductive than the semiconductor chip 10 times faster.
Ga, in particular gallium arsenide (GaAs) high electron mobility, under the same conditions, it can conduct current more quickly. If you used a computer, you can speed up your computer speed. Because of this advantage, thirty years ago, scientists began the research of silicon instead of gallium. University of Texas materials scientist Christopher ? Schinkel (Christopher Hinkle) found that, if indium, gallium and arsenic in the three metal alloys to replace silicon in semiconductor chips, the conductive speed is 10 times the original.
 
However, difficulties still exist in this product come out. He said: "We have already started using indium - gallium - arsenic materials transistors, and their speed is indeed a conductive silicon 10 times. But it also makes the shortcomings of the transistor made more prone to breakage."
