Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers at Purdue University have created a "unified model" for predicting the reliability of new designs for silicon transistors - a potential tool that industry could use ...

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

The two techniques, strained silicon and silicon on insulator (SOI), have been brought together for the first time in a technique called strained silicon directly on insulator (SSDOI), IBM said.

For decades, transistors - the heart of our computer chips - have been getting smaller and smaller. As a result, the electronic components in many devices can be made ever more compact, faster and ...

On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...
