A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...

This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw material) to commercial deployment. I’ve been at IEEE Spectrum long enough ...

A technical paper titled “Roadmap for Schottky barrier transistors” was published by researchers at University of Surrey, Namlab gGmbH, Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), et al. “In this roadmap we ...

Taiwan's world-leading microchip manufacturer TSMC says it has started mass producing next-generation "2-nanometre" chips.

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

Deboki Chakravarti: You’ve probably seen pictures of those old computers. Not like the bulky ones that Sam and I used when we were younger. I’m talking about computers like the Electrical Numerical ...
