Within these categories, there are further subdivisions such as NPN and PNP BJTs and N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFETs. MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. It is a type ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

Another study focused on the electronic properties of defects formed at the SiO2/Si interface in gate-controlled lateral PNP transistors. It found that ionizing radiation creates two types of ...
