China pivots to 2D semiconductors, bypassing silicon export curbs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

China is accelerating its development of 2D semiconductors, such as molybdenum disulfide, as a response to Western export restrictions on advanced silicon chips. Researchers at Fudan University, in collaboration with Shanghai Atomic Technology, have developed a functional 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor using this new material, marking a significant step towards "Beyond Moore" architectures. Despite this progress, the scale of these new chips is currently comparable to early microprocessors, with substantial engineering challenges remaining in areas like transistor count and defect control before they can compete with current high-end AI chips.
