“The forward voltage drop for a germanium diode is about 0.3-0.4 volts, as opposed to silicon diodes 0.6-0.8 volts. Therefore logic devices could now be designed to use much lower voltages, even below a volt......”


Yes, RB if that characteristic remains true with this different format then lower voltage devices would be in the wings. One atom thick, hard to get any device thinner that that unless they can get the tinny hydrogen atom to do some semiconductor tricks.
