How palladium could replace copper in semiconductors – Palladium Minds Podcast Episode 2

Palladium Minds is back for a second episode. This time Professor Francis Verpoort is joined by Takayuki Harada, a researcher at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science, to discuss palladium cobalt oxide (PdCoO₂).

Copper has been a key material in semiconductor interconnects for years, but it’s approaching its physical limits as devices shrink to the nanoscale. Verpoort and Harada look at how PdCoO₂ could help overcome the challenges facing next-generation semiconductors.
