There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at Bell ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

William Shockley spent New Year's Eve alone in a hotel in Chicago. He was there for a Physical Society meeting, but he was most excited about having some time to himself to concentrate on his work.

Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the corner, or battery technology that ...

Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertical transistor that suppresses leakage at nanoscale channels and supports ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

Organic bipolar transistors can also handle demanding data processing and transmission tasks on flexible electronic elements - for example here, for electrocardiogram ...

The world’s fastest transistor has been developed by a pair of US researchers, possibly paving the way for a new generation of super-charged electronic chips. Milton Feng and Walid Hafez at the ...
