Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern electronic devices, is made up of three layers of a semiconductor material, typically silicon, each layer possessing a ...

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

The transistor acts like an insulator or a switch that is turned off. When a positive voltage is applied to the base, electrons are pulled out of the junctions and they no longer act as barriers.

A landmark development led by researchers from the University of Glasgow could help create a new generation of diamond-based ...

Researchers have developed a new type of transistor that they say could "change the world of electronics" within the next two decades. The new transistor is built using an ultrathin material ...

We really like this model because it goes a long way to shed light on some of the more subtle features of BJT transistors for beginners. For example, the simplest “electronic switch” model ...
