Transistors are tiny components that act like switches and amplifiers, driving the logic behind every digital device. In this ...

Abstract: Damage separation analysis was performed for two types of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) following proton irradiation over the energy range of 1.6–650 MeV. The functional dependence of ...

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, ...

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 ...

Figure 1 shows a variation on a sine wave oscillator, it uses just two transistors and a single variable resistor to set the frequency. Figure 1 Just a couple of components are needed for a simple ...

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 ...

The last time I went to the doctor, I lived in a different zip code, belonged to a different body-weight category, and was rounding out a different decade. I never consciously swore off health care, ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

It is made from a sandwich of three layers of semiconductor material: two layers of n-type material, which is a semiconductor doped with elements that provide extra electrons, and one layer of p-type ...

The blackwell chip from Nvidia, shovel-maker for the artificial-intelligence (ai) gold rush, contains 208bn transistors spread over two “dies”, pieces of silicon each about 800 square millimetres in ...

Ever since the development of the first working transistors in 1947, the electronics industry has experienced tremendous growth in numerous ways. For instance, transistors allowed for the ...
