Do you mean nitride? As in gallium nitride? Can you provide a link to the article? Those of us who used copper oxide were able to transition to germanium, then to silicon without a big deal (except for Del who still uses cat's whiskers ). Wafer design may change, but smart engineers should be able to adapt to new technologies.
