Vacuum Integrated Systems (VIS Technology)

Production technology of Vacuum Integrated Systems (VIS) is based on fundamental research of field emission devices, which have been carried out by the team of scientists under the leadership of Dr. Vladimir Zasemkov since 1986.

For more than 30 years of fundamental researche, great progress in the formation of a new component base and structural & technological basis of vacuum integrated systems has been achieved. Microchips of a new generation, superior to all current semiconductor chips in terms of quality and other key parameters were designed.

VIS elements combine all the advantages of emission (high speed, lack of self-noise and other) and semiconductor (small dimensions, low energy consumption) electronics.

Major technological processes of VIS are carried out within a single technological cycle. Application of a new component base is not only an expanding functional parameter of modern electronic devices, but also allowing us to start designing altogether new architecture of electronic devices.

Moving to VIS technology is a new age in the world of modern electronics and the next step of its evolutional development.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Use of a new vacuum electronic component basis affords an opportunity to change the initial principle of microchip operation, i.e. to transfer from architecting of binary systems to intellectual matrices, constructed on neuromorphic architecture similar to brain structure. A human brain, containing about 1 billion neurons, where every neuron is connected to thousands of identical cells, fulfils relatively simple operations, representing a factually perfect concurrent and likely analogue processing unit. The most advanced computer is hard to compare with a human brain and this is not because of a gigantic number of logic neuron-cells. The fundamental difference is in the method of information processing, prominent level of concurrency and linkage between neurons. Besides, the data of neural networks are not contained in a separate memory unit, like in a traditional computer, it is distributed, stored and contained in the form of weight coefficient. Operations of computation and commutations are combined in the neural networks.

Working out the production technology of intellectual matrices on the basis of VIS technology will allow manufacturing a number cruncher, which can be implanted into any chip to change all parameters of a device.

Electronics will make a step into a new level and supports creation of fully-featured systems of artificial intellect.
