Don’t get me wrong, it’s an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they’re making hold up. But it’s grown on silicon wafers. “Post-silicon chips” feels somewhat misleading here
Yeah, they mean in terms of the limitations if silicone, specifically the gate sizes and other properties. If the whole chip is silicone then you are bound by those limitations, but by changing to carbon things can be smaller and more efficient, allowing better computation with less waste heat.
It’s still bonded to silicon carbide…

Silicon and silicone are two very different things, just FYI. But that does make sense
Damn autocorrect, yes, absolutely, thanks for that
