Sharp forms CPU on glass substrate

OSAKA, Japan - Sharp Corp. said on Oct. 22 it has succeeded in forming an 8-bit central processing unit (CPU) on a glass substrate (photo), paving the way for the development of futuristic ultra-thin ''sheet computers'' and ''sheet television sets.'' The first technology of its kind in the world was developed jointly by Sharp and Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co. in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, on the basis of their jointly developed continuous grain (CG) silicon technology. The technology could lead to the development of notebook personal computers and 15-inch TVs as thin as 1 mm and weighing only around 300 grams.
