Intel Corp. on Tuesday is expected to announce plans to use a technology that stretches the atoms apart in a silicon wafer, a process that mass-produces the world’s smallest transistors.
According to published reports, the Santa Clara, Calif., chip maker’s big leap into the nanotechnology era extends on the “strained silicon” technique first adopted by competitor IBM Corp but Intel would be the first to use it in large scale production.
