Some large chips today have billions of devices onboard. Small transistors that work well are throw away components today. A quick check of a general purpose transistor price shows under 20 cents ...

The function of the transistor is to utilize the voltage applied to the gate to control the current flow between the drain and source. Upon applying a small voltage to the gate, it permits a large ...

Is Moore's Law really dead? How small can a transistor be? And what in the world is "dark silicon?" Read on to find out. Named for Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, Moore’s Law is the observation ...

On the other hand, all that's really needed is a single electron at a time. A transistor small enough to operate with only one electron would be phenomenally small, yet it is theoretically possible.

In the case of Brattain's transistor, current flowed towards the second gold contact. Think about what that means. A small current in through one contact changes the nature of the semiconductor so ...

"For years we have seen limits to how small transistors can get," said Moore in an Intel press release. "This change in the basic structure is a truly revolutionary approach, and one that should ...

In a significant advancement for semiconductor technology, ECE's Prof. Kaustav Banerjee , co-authors Arnab Pal & Wei Cao and researchers have unveiled novel three-dimensional (3D) transistors ...
