“With BVceo up to 100V, continuous current to 10A – and 20A peak – and saturation voltage as low as 17mV, these transistors ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

When one thinks of portable consumer electronics that are now largely obsolete, portable CD players, minidisc players, and portable cassette tape players are products that immediately come to mind.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. today introduced a new line of artificial intelligence chips that it says can outperform Nvidia Corp.’s Blackwell B200 at some tasks. The Instinct MI350 series, as the ...

Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) at the University of Tokyo in Japan have built tiny transistors that do not use silicon. Instead, the team doped gallium into indium oxide and ...

The growing energy use of AI has gotten a lot of people working on ways to make it less power hungry. One option is to develop processors that are a better match to the sort of computational needs of ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

The transition from finFET technology to Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology helps to reduce transistor variability and resume channel length scaling. It also brings several new challenges in terms of ...

Your beloved pooch has a tendency to run off. It’s time to pay a visit to the vet to get her microchipped. On the morning of your appointment, the alarm on your smartphone wakes you up. The house is ...

MIT researchers have developed a new type of 3D transistor that could be more energy-efficient and powerful than current silicon-based transistors. The novel 3D transistors have been designed using ...

Pat gelsinger, boss of Intel, a chipmaker, loves to brag that his firm is leading the charge in semiconductor technology by entering the “angstrom era”. The angstrom, named in honour of Anders Jonas ...

Inside a sterile, cavernous building in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, the latest monster dreamed up by asml, a maker of chipmaking gear, is quietly humming away. Weighing 150 tonnes and the size of a ...
