While it is hard to imagine today, securing a license to produce transistors was difficult in the early days. What’s worse is, even with the license, it was not feasible to use the crude devices ...

This team has created a transistor that itself is programmable. Rather than doping the semiconductor material with impurities to create the electrical characteristics needed for the transistor ...

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 ...

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 ...

Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The transistor was born in December of 1947, in New Jersey, and it has defined the last half of the 20th century and the first quarter of the 21st ...

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 ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
