Amorphyx has developed a family of thin film electronic devices - transistor, diode and sensor - based on quantum tunneling physics. This family of devices promises to replace semiconductor-based electronic devices in analog/mixed-signal applications through the combination of higher performance, simplified manufacturing and order-of-magnitude lower.
