A transistor fabricated from the crystalline phase of an organic semiconductor material could provide a path to improved switching speeds — rivalling those of devices built from inorganic materials ...

Transistors come in different flavors. Tubes used an electric field to regulate current flow, and researchers wanted to find something that worked the same way without the drawbacks like vacuum and ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master the fundamentals of semiconductors and evaluate the performance of electronic devices by completing courses in semiconductor physics, PN ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...

Quantum-tunneling junction technology promises to enable production of smaller, more efficient, and easier-to-produce semiconductors for digital, analog, and power applications. In case you missed the ...

Back to analog, let us start some Schmitt trigger experiments with jellybean bipolar junction transistors… This post explores the classic emitter-coupled Schmitt Trigger circuit. A Schmitt trigger is ...

A new technical paper titled “A Cryogenic Ultra-Thin Body SiGeSn Transistor” was published by researchers at TU Wien, ...

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 ...

A limiting problem in creating energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers is manufacturing a transistor with reconfigurable properties. As the size of transistors ...

In 1782, Alessandro Volta was the first to use the term "semiconducting" to describe the electrical properties of certain materials. In 1833, Michael Faraday observed that the resistance of silver ...
