You guessed it, diodes can also be used to build logic gates, but not all of them, only the AND and OR gates can be built using diodes only. However, by adding a transistor as an active element ...

Box 1: Criteria for practical optical logic. The electronic transistor and the logic gates based on it have qualitative features that are crucial for systems of any complexity, but very few ...

A collection of transistors and resistors that implement Boolean logic operations in a digital circuit. Logic gates have one or two 0 or 1 inputs but only one 0 or 1 output as in the following ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor ... to build up logic circuits such as shift registers and adders. A one-bit section of shift register might contain six gate TO-circuits ...

Until earlier this decade, the scaling and performance trends of the logic transistor were mainly the result of SiO 2 gate oxide scaling as well as source–drain junction and well engineering.
