This results in lower dynamic power, higher speed and higher gate density, halving the number of process layers required, reducing material use by two thirds, and slashing manufacturing time.

The trick: Using quantum tunnelling to dispense with the resistor normally required by bipolar parts, creating a very low power and considerably simplified circuit.

Sounds pretty amazing, thoughts?

I'm by no means an IC fabrication expert but on pure appearance this seems much more serious than the usual content on Dodgy Technology

Is like a zenerization of the schotky bipolar transistor. Absolutely no doubt that this is an advance, for BiCMOS and LVTTL technologies.
What name will have?

74LZXXX?
