While theoretically the ideal semiconductor, diamond has not yet become mainstream in transistors and other components. Researchers have fabricated a diamond field-effect transistor (JFET) with ...

With a slender sheet of lab-grown bismuth and an architecture unlike anything inside today’s silicon chips, they’ve built ...

These are analogous to the terminals on a bipolar transistor, in that the source fulfills a similar role to the emitter, the gate to the base, and the drain to the collector. Thus the three basic ...

It carries the capability to manage or modify current or voltage flow, amplify and produce electrical signals, and act as a switch or gate. The impressive fact is that trillions of these transistors ...

A second gate, called the program gate, can be used to reconfigure the electric fields within the transistor, changing its properties on the fly. This still requires some electrical control ...

A type of 3D FinFET transistor from Intel introduced in 2011 with its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The "tri" in Tri-Gate means the gate wraps around three sides of a fin-shaped channel from ...

Organic TFTs are shaking up the display world, offering flexible new design possibilities that challenge the long-standing ...

Furthermore, non-planar designs such as tri-gate transistors are being developed to mitigate problems arising, for example, from short-channel effects. Combined, these innovations and strategies ...

A research team from Skoltech and the University of Wuppertal in Germany determined that an all-optical universal logic gate ...

A layered transistor design combines light detection optical memory and neuromorphic processing in one unit offering compact ...

The gains are due to a unique chip architecture. The team built a gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAAFET), which wraps the gate around the source on all sides instead of just three like a ...

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 ...
