A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

When does the golden rule of semiconductor scaling finally break? How small can a transistor be? And what in the world is ...

As it turns out, the answer is not 42, it’s 42.3 — thousand. That’s how many discrete transistors spread across the 30 m 2 room housing this massive computation machine. [James Newman’s ...

So What Was the Transistor Good For? Transistors may have been useful to the phone company and to a handful of scientists building computers, but that wasn't enough to build an industry.

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs ...

A team of Johns Hopkins materials scientists made a surprising discovery that could change the way memory works in ...

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at ...

Synopsys TCAD tools are well suited to address the simulation challenges of GAA technology. Utilizing fundamental atomic ...

A newly developed transistor device has shown exceptional levels of resilience in tests, performing so well, in fact, that it ...
