This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

The IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is considered the premier forum where scientists and engineers come together to disclose, discuss and debate the best recent R&D work in electron ...

With the right mix of materials, TFETs promise cooler, smaller, and more efficient circuits for everything from the Internet of Things to brain-inspired computers. But before they can leave the lab, ...

Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, research over the past two decades has advanced the use of 2D materials in semiconductor manufacturing, with academia playing a crucial role in driving their ...

As the universe of applications for power devices grows, designers are finding that no single semiconductor can cover the full range of voltage and current requirements. Instead, combination circuits ...

How does a nanosheet transistor compare with a FinFET? Issues involved in developing and manufacturing nanosheet transistors. Benefits of adopting nanosheet transistors in chip design. It’s the end of ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...

Pat gelsinger, boss of Intel, a chipmaker, loves to brag that his firm is leading the charge in semiconductor technology by entering the “angstrom era”. The angstrom, named in honour of Anders Jonas ...

Junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) usually require some reverse bias voltage to be applied to a gate terminal. In HF and UHF applications, this bias is often provided using the voltage across ...

Abstract: The rapidly increasing volume and complexity of data is demanding the relentless scaling of computing power. With transistor feature size approaching physical limits, the benefits that CMOS ...
