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 MIT team created a new three-dimensional transistor using ultrathin semiconductor materials, including gallium antimonide and indium arsenide. The design leverages a quantum mechanical ...

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.

Send enough electrons, and some will appear. Quantum tunneling is not a good thing when you’re trying to shrink transistors ever so smaller. Transistors need barriers. When electrons start ...

The manipulation of mechanical strain in materials ... in monolayer semiconductor transistors. This approach, outlined in a paper published in Nature Electronics, relies on the use of silicon ...

By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors, the Shockley Diode could do more than a transistor. For one, it acted like a rectifier, able to turn alternating current into ...

researchers have developed transistors that maintain stable performance even under significant mechanical strain. This innovation is crucial for applications that require flexibility, such as skin ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...
