Transistors: the tiny parts running everything

Transistors may be small, but they’re the reason modern electronics work. This video breaks down how these tiny components ...

MIT electronics researchers develop a new way to fabricate transistors on the backend of finished dies, to keep pushing the limit of chip densities ever higher

Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer of ultra-pure silicon. The bottom-most layer, also known as the front end ...
