Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

One of the topics we've covered multiple times at ExtremeTech is the difficulty of continuing to scale semiconductor technology, and the related problem of improving chip performance without ...

the scaling of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si MOSFETs) and evolution of novel structure transistors in accordance with Moore’s Law, especially for modern ...

Despite its promising characteristics in condensed matter physics, the triply-degenerate semimetal PtBi 2 has been largely unexplored in practical applications, particularly in semiconductor ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have revived and improved a once-reliable technique to identify and count defects in transistors, the building blocks of modern ...

Field-effect transistors (FETs) are the cornerstone of modern electronic devices, providing the essential functionality for digital logic, analog processing and power management. The fundamental ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...
