In this article, we’re going to focus on using common bipolar junction transistors instead of relays to replace physical switches. In short, how to add transistors to existing electronics to ...

Researchers propose 3D semiconductor architectures using 2D semiconductor materials for better performance and scalability ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Although the paper calls the device a transistor, it is more of a switch than a true transistor as far as we can tell. That’s still useful, probably. What would you do with a heat-controlled ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

The team led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of ...

Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern electronic devices, is made up of three layers of a semiconductor material, typically silicon, each layer possessing a ...

lower cost per transistor, and lower switching energy per transistor. Increase in transistor density in particular results in enhanced on-chip logic functionality as well as increased on-chip ...

If the negative capacitance in the proposed ferroelectric transistor has similar non-equilibrium origins, this extra energy will obviously need to be included when determining the switching energy.

IGBTs are voltage-controlled like MOSFETs, but have also the output switching and conduction characteristics of bipolar transistors. IGBTs are used in inverters, converters and power supplies in ...
