Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses ...
For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...
On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...
Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...
In his 1948 white paper 1, Shockley wrote, “The theory of the point-contact transistor is that the emitter point-contact introduces holes into the n-type base material. The collector point-contact, ...
Thin-film transistors (TFTs) have become a key element in large-area electronics such as LCDs and displays. They enable higher resolution and contrast—without sacrificing refresh rate—through the ...
