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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. The spread of h FE values in a batch of transistors may be wide enough to cause unreliable performance during mass production of a ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside ...

Transistors are a dime a dozen—or maybe a dime a billion. When it comes to designing a state-of-the-art mobile device or a high-performance server, it’s how you put the transistors together that ...

Researchers at the IMEC research institute in Belgium are developing a transistor with a gate width of 22nm (0.022µm) and a gate thickness of 0.5nm to test out new materials for future commercial chip ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

A small transistor that can accurately detect tiny traces of RNA from SARS-CoV-2 could herald a new breed of rapid COVID-19 screening tests (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06325).
