A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” ...

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 ...

But they have a rich history, going back through the silicon era to germanium junction transistors, and thence to the original devices. if you’ve ever looked at the symbol for a transistor and ...

The humble transistor radio is one of those consumer devices that stubbornly refuses to go away, but it’s fair to say that it’s not the mover and shaker in the world of electronics it might on ...

Since the early 1990s, transistors — the tiny switches that drive everything from smartphones to supercomputers — have ...

While theoretically the ideal semiconductor, diamond has not yet become mainstream in transistors and other components.

A layered transistor design combines light detection optical memory and neuromorphic processing in one unit offering compact ...

The same layered material can be made to behave as a superconductor, metal, semiconductor or insulator by using a transistor device developed by RIKEN physicists to tweak its electronic properties.

Take a look at some of the smallest and most advanced microelectronic innovations pushing the boundaries of size, speed, and ...
