The humble transistor radio is one of those consumer devices that stubbornly refuses to go away, but it’s fair to say that it’s not the mover and shaker in the world of electronics it might on ...

As understood from Chapter 5, the bipolar junction transistor is a current amplifier of its own. However, it can be made to amplify voltage also, as will be discussed in this chapter. The key factor ...

Because the new transistor — dubbed the "cryo-CMOS transistor" — is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit ...

There was, however, a drawing of the transistor point, labeled with its dimensions. By comparing this to photos of the transistor, Aylesworth determined the size of every other part of the device.

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Although many scientists contributed along the way, it was three men who really brought the transistor to life, and each played a different role: the thinker, the tinkerer, and the visionary.

Many Hackaday readers have an interest in retro technology, but we are not the only group who scour the flea markets.

In these circuits, the number of transistors can range from a few to a few billion. The transistor is considered to be one of the most important inventions of the 20 th century because of its abundant ...

A type of 3D FinFET transistor from Intel introduced in 2011 with its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The Tri-Gate design is considered 3D because the gate wraps around a raised source-to-drain ...

Rob Roy, Debashis Bhattacharya, Zenasis Technologies, Inc., Campbell, CA 95008 Abstract As feature sizes continue to shrink at a breakneck pace, transistor-level analysis and optimization in digital ...
