In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

As computing demands grow, driven by artificial intelligence and the internet of things, the need for energy-efficient electronics becomes critical. At the heart of this evolution are transistors, the ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Why silk is being used for bio-compatible transistors. How the silk is transformed to develop the transistor function. The two types of operation provided by the silk-based transistor. Silicon and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For new generation electronic appliances advanced nanoscale transistors are in demand which needs precise biasing of each device. These stringent biasing conditions can be relaxed ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Defects in transistors, such as unwanted impurities and broken chemical bonds in the various layers of the semiconductor, can limit their performance and reliability. These defects are becoming harder ...
