The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...

Substituting the values from Table 1 into Equation 3 and 4, values for η and R S are obtained for this 'thermal diode' treated as a 2-terminal diode and listed in Table 2. Figure 2 is a plot of two ...

Research groups in Japan and the U.S. jointly developed a double-layered nanowire, consisting of a germanium core and a silicon shell, which is a promising material for high-speed transistor channels.

The heart of a processor inside a computer and other devices is the transistor. The more transistors that can be crammed inside a CPU, the better the device performs. There is a limit to how small a ...

Several foundries continue to develop new processes based on next-generation gate-all-around transistors, including more advanced high-mobility versions, but bringing these technologies into ...

A graphene-based spin field-effect transistor has been used in an operating at room temperature. Using the spin of the electrons in graphene and other layered material heterostructures the researchers ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — In a move to address the power concerns of future microprocessors, Intel Corp. here today announced a new transistor structure that marks the company's initial use of high-k ...

Whenever I read about cutting-edge transistors, I appreciate that there's people who enjoy these kind of challenges. Working with things that don't *want* to act predictably sounds like hell to me.
