Transistors have come a long way. Like everything else electronic, they’ve become both better and cheaper. According to a recent IEEE article, a transistor cost about $8 in today’s money back ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors have radiation tolerance that makes them a good fit for a growing variety of space industry ...

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 ...

Beyond the power variant, it sometimes seems as though we rarely encounter a discrete transistor these days, such has been the advance of integrated electronics. But they have a rich history ...

Transistor advances have gone through several stages over the years, each driven by the need to meet new demands in terms of size, performance, and power consumption. Explore the historical ...

75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...

After nearly a decade and five major nodes, along with a slew of half-nodes, the semiconductor manufacturing industry will begin transitioning from finFETs to gate-all-around stacked nanosheet ...

Researchers have developed the first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants. Researchers at ...

D transistor offering 40% faster speeds and lower energy use may soon disrupt the global chip market - if China can successfully scale production.

The world is heading into the age of gate-all-around (GAA) or nanosheet transistors. While it was never going to save Moore’s Law by itself, the new device is opening the door to continuous ...

For the longest time, there's been a golden rule in technology, often shorthanded as Moore's Law: Every year, transistors get smaller, and devices get faster and more capable as a result.
