Like Intel and IBM, AMD says it's has developed a new multiple-gate transistor, which will create more-powerful, energy-efficient processors.

Two important power transistors on the market are known as DMOS (double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor) and LIGBT (lateral-insulated gate bipolar transistor).

Transistors are semiconductor devices that regulate current, amplify signals, and act as switches, forming the foundation of modern electronics.

Physicists have used a scanning tunneling microscope to create a minute transistor consisting of a single molecule and a small number of atoms. The observed transistor action is markedly different ...

Electrons typically flow through transistors in parallel to the chip surface, but what if the transistors were flipped sideways?

A nanowire transistor with full CMOS functionality has been fabricated without the use of junctions or doping concentration gradients.

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate ...

The elastic tunnelling model predicts that as transistors get smaller, electronic noise within the transitors, which can cause erratic on-off states, should increase.

This whitepaper gives a compact overview of the recommended gate drive concepts for both GIT (gate injection transistor) and SGT (Schottky gate transistor) product families. A versatile standard drive ...

Unisantis is making some huge claims about this new transistor, a three-dimensional design called the Stacked Gate Transistor (SGT) that the company claims could boost processor clockspeeds north ...

The gate oxide, for example, one of the crucial components of a transistor, is only about five or six atomic layers thick on current chips, Sander said. Further thinning, without creative changes ...
