At the core of every computer, smartphone, and digital device lies the transistor, a tiny but powerful component that is crucial for processing data and performing mathematical operations. But how ...

As transistors perform their work, you want them either fully on (for strong current) or fully off (no leakage). FinFETs approach the off-state by having more gate contact area than planar designs.

Versatility: Transistors can function as both switches and amplifiers, making them highly versatile building blocks for electronic circuits. Chip Design, Transistors & Moore’s Law ...

CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and p-type (pMOS), which work together in pairs in a complementary manner. The term "complementary" refers to how these two ...

Transistors act as switches, turning current on and off to code for the 1s and 0s of digital logic. The new work focuses on a type of device called an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT).

Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon ...

On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions.
