WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers. The ...

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 ...

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow's semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more ...

After nearly a decade and five major nodes, along with a slew of half-nodes, the semiconductor manufacturing industry will begin transitioning from finFETs to gate-all-around stacked nanosheet ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

the scaling of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si MOSFETs) and evolution of novel structure transistors in accordance with Moore’s Law, especially for modern ...
