In 1947, Shockley, Brattain and Bardeen were investigating the field effect transistor but lead them into inventing the bipolar transistor instead. In 1952, the field effect transistor of Shockley was ...

Normally, semiconductors don't have many free electrons. Since electric current relies on those free electrons, the amount of current that can travel through an isolated semiconductor is negligible.

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

The formula for a perovskite compound is typically expressed as ABX3. These are crystalline structures that bond two cations ("A" and "B", divalent metal ion) to an anion ("X"); the "B" atoms tend to ...

Today’s electronic devices are powered by transistors, which are tiny silicon structures that rely on negatively charged electrons moving through the silicon, forming an electric current. In recent ...

Compare 3 process flows in terms of robustness to process variation to see which one has the lowest likelihood of processing failures. Sub-5 nm logic nodes will require an extremely high level of ...

“Ferroelectric field-effect transistors employ a ferroelectric material as a gate insulator, the polarization state of which can be detected using the channel conductance of the device. As a result, ...

As such, the team developed skin-like organic bioelectronic devices that closely merge with the human body for effective biomarker monitoring, overcoming the limitations of existing soft biosensors ...

In the beginning, there was the point-contact transistor. This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil contacts ...
