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 ...

From this world comes [colectornet], with a video that crosses the bridge between our two communities, examining the so-called transistor wars of the late 1950s and through the ’60s. Just as ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

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 ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

It says something about your career at a company that makes hundreds of trillions of transistors every day when your nickname is “Mr. Transistor.” That’s what colleagues often call Tahir Ghani, a ...

Over half a century ago, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, postulated that the number of transistors in a circuit would double every 18 months. In the computer world, this assertion has become ...

Intel's 18A process could offer superior performance Intel and TSMC have revealed some details about their forthcoming ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

Scientists from the University of Glasgow have made a major breakthrough that could lead to a new generation of powerful and efficient electronic devices. Their work focuses on creating better ...

Glasgow University researchers have led work that could lead to a new generation of diamond-based transistors.

Secondly, it is unclear how Intel's and TSMC's HP and LP standard cells compare. While it is logical to assume that N2 has a ...
