AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have ...

These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...

In this episode of EngineeringTV Reruns, Electronic Design's Don Tuite speaks with EPC's Alex Lidow about how eGaN FETs work.

the history of the most important invention of the 20th century: the transistor. Also... see the television documentary hosted by Ira Flatow, airing on local PBS stations in the fall of 1999. This ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using ...

Investopedia / Joules Garcia Understanding Moore's Law In 1965, Gordon E. Moore—co-founder of Intel (INTC)—observed that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit at minimum cost had ...

In this letter, low frequency noise (LFN) of elevated-metal metal-oxide (EMMO) thin-film transistor (TFT) is systematically investigated for the first time. EMMO TFT possesses distinctive LFN ...

We investigate the operation modes of a dual-gate reconfigurable field-effect transistor (RFET). To this end, dual-gate silicon-nanowire FETs are fabricated based on anisotropic wet etching of silicon ...

Imec researchers have set a new benchmark in RF transistor performance for mobile applications. They present a gallium nitride (GaN) MOSHEMT (metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility ...

This conceptual illustration of a computer based on 2D molecules displays an actual scanning electron microscope image of the computer fabricated by a team by researchers at Penn State. The keyboard ...

Field-effect transistors (FETs), when functionalized with proper biorecognition elements (such as antibodies or enzymes), represent a unique platform for real-time, specific, label-free transduction ...
