Box 1: Criteria for practical optical logic. The electronic transistor and the logic gates based on it have qualitative features that are crucial for systems of any complexity, but very few ...

it was of course not a simple matter of just slapping some transistors on a silicon die to create logic gates, putting it into a plastic (or ceramic) package, and taking over the world of digital ...

A couple years back we covered a very impressive transistor logic clock which was laid out so an observer could watch all of the counters doing their thing, complete with gratuitous blinkenlights.

Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double roughly every 24 months, continues to be the guiding principle of the ...

most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as CMOS logic, which consume less power (see FET and MOSFET). Bipolar transistors are available as individually packaged discrete components as ...

University of Houston have created an elastic semiconductor with 8.57cm2/Vs charge carrier mobility, and then made transistors, logic and a sensor array from it. Carrier mobility is largely retained ...

A microchip with nearly 6,000 transistors, each only three atoms thick, is the most complex microprocessor made from a two-dimensional material to date, scientists in China say. The new device was ...

When a sufficiently positive V gs voltage is applied to the gates of NMOS ... K. Mistry, C. Allen, C, "A 45nm Logic Technology with High-k+Metal Gate Transistors, Strained Silicon, 9 Cu Interconnect ...

The sandwich transistor was William Shockley's brainchild ... The crystal can conduct in one direction, but not in the other. A positive voltage in the base pulls the electrons across in the ...
