 Electronic News: Samsung second-sourcing Alpha MPU - DEC authorizes Samsung Electronics as alternative Alpha ...
Electronic News, June 24, 1996 by Sarah Cohen
Maynard, Mass.--Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC) and Samsung Electronics have entered into an agreement which licenses Samsung as an alternate source manufacturer of current and future implementations of Digital's Alpha 64-bit Alpha RISC microprocessors.
From Digital's perspective, this alliance is an opportunity to increase product capacity for its Alpha chip, widely understood to be the industry's fastest MPU in terms of operating frequency but thought less attractive to manufacturers than slower, cheaper solutions that more easily integrate into popular systems.

 'Orbitronics' Could Keep Silicon-based Computing Going After Today's Technology Reaches Its Limits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In recent years, the search for an alternative to conventional semiconductors has resulted in the discovery of a nanotechnology called ''spintronics,'' which uses a property of electrons called ''spin'' to produce a novel kind of current that integrated circuits can process as information.
Like an electric current, which is the flow of negatively charged electrons in a conventional integrated circuit, an orbital current would consist of a flow of electrons with their angular momenta aligned in an orbitronic circuit.
Some alternative technologies require cold temperatures that are difficult and expensive to maintain, he adds.

The focus will be on the applications of a broad range of nano-scale technologies to information processing and on the perspectives for replacing mainstream approaches, such as complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS), as they reach the expected physical limits for miniaturisation.
The goal of a WG such as "Alternative Electronics" is to address the research of alternative devices that could replace CMOS beyond the 10 to 5 nm frontier providing at least comparable performances, but allowing low power consumption and less expensive fabrication.
Further, in Mono-Molecular Electronics it is supposed that a single and always the same molecule would perform full computation putting forwards many questions from Hybrid Molecular Electronics such as the problem of interconnects or of the resources available inside a molecule to perform computation.
