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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

it was of course not a simple matter of just slapping some transistors on a silicon die to create logic gates, putting it into a plastic (or ceramic) package, and taking over the world of digital ...

The Boolean logic gates AND, OR and NOT comprise transistors, which are on/off switches wired together. Gates have one or two inputs but only one output, and they are wired in patterns that make ...
