While theoretically the ideal semiconductor, diamond has not yet become mainstream in transistors and other components.

These are the basic building blocks of modern computation. Semiconductor devices called transistors are the tiny electronic switches that run computations inside our computers. Scientists in the ...

Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern electronic devices, is made up of three layers of a semiconductor material, typically silicon, each layer possessing a ...

Researchers at Stanford University recently introduced a CMOS-compatible approach to engineer the tensile strain (i.e., stretchiness) in monolayer semiconductor transistors. This approach ...

Shockley Semiconductor – the "traitorous eight," including Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. The new company started out producing transistors, selling their first 100 to IBM at $150 apiece.

Founded in 1955, Shockley Semiconductor was the brainchild of William Shockley. When he was ready to leave Bell Labs, he decided to form a company to build transistors. Funded by Beckman ...

The Feynman generation and those that follow will likely adopt semiconductor nodes featuring gate-all-around (GAA) transistors – the next evolution in transistor technology after FinFET.
