Tubes Made
What ever happened to tubes on chips?

As I recall the benefits were that tubes could be made smaller than pn junctions and the power requirement was much lower. The problem was that the anode being only a few atoms in size was quickly destroyed by the collision of electrons. Anybody have an update?

Economics is what drives electronics. PN is cheaper to make so that is what they will use it until there is something cheaper. The nature of engineering.
