§ the problem

Moore's Law is decelerating.

Silicon is hitting quantum limits. We need a new paradigm — one that doesn't depend on shrinking the transistor further.

§ the solution

Three pillars. One thesis.

Crystal Materials

Beyond silicon: GaN, ZnO, MoS₂, InGaOₓ — wide-bandgap and 2D crystals with 3-10× the carrier mobility.

Piezoelectric Gating

Mechanical stress drives electrostatic gating. PZT and LiNbO₃ deliver sub-femtojoule switching energies.

EM Coupling

Electromagnetic fields tune carrier transport remotely — gate-less, contact-less, lossless control.

§ simon's law
"The end of Moore's Law is not the end of scaling — it is the beginning of crystal-engineered scaling. When silicon plateaus, hybrid Crystal-EM architectures resume the curve."
P(t) = P₀ · 2^((t − t₀) / τ_eff) · CEF

where CEF = (μ_crystal/μ_Si) · (1 + κ · η_EM) is the dimensionless Crystal-EM Enhancement Factor.
