Transistor: A transistor is an electronic switch ... from modularity to meeting power usage requirements. All of this falls under the general category of semiconductor packaging.

A wire-bonded die consisting of over 20 gallium nitride high-electron mobility transistors, seen here under a microscope, could be used in nuclear sensing equipment because of its high resistance ...

Starting with hot sulphuric acid is probably not everyone’s idea of a day at the bench, but having used it to strip the epoxy from the CH340, he’s able to take a look under the microscope.

The Pentium was made on an 800nm process, with the above die shot taken through stitched-together microscope photography. The die contains 3.1 million transistors, with transistor grids being ...
