write down the memory componets of each generation of computer
Answers
Answer: Silicon. Or, more detailed, a planar transistor created by adding contaminants (at the level of parts per billion) to the pure silicon crystal that is the substrate of the computer chip. Lay those contaminants down in the right pattern and you get transistors. The rest is just raw engineering to create lines so small that even a high-power optical microscope is not powerful enough to resolve them; you need an electron microscope.
There are some alternatives to silicon, but on the whole, the technology for using silicon is quite mature. It only costs a couple billion dollars to build a fab line to manufacture chips from silicon. The more exotic materials are still just that: exotic materials, not quite ready for Prime Time.
