Before the era of large-scale integration (LSI) semiconductor circuits, discrete logic circuits using the common diode-transistor logic (DTL) were still necessary and available in a format that was ...

The transition from finFET technology to Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology helps to reduce transistor variability and resume channel length scaling. It also brings several new challenges in terms of ...

A single MXene-based optical gate switches between seven Boolean logic functions via voltage, enabling trainable photonic ...

A technical paper titled “The RGATE: an 8-in-1 Polymorphic Logic Gate Built from Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors” was published by researchers at TU Dresden and NaMLab. “We present the ...

Logic elements “Exclusive OR” are widely used in a variety of digital devices. However, in some cases, for example, when using increased operating voltages, the use of standard chips is impossible.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the workload that defines today’s semiconductor scaling. Whether in hyperscale data centers training foundation models or at the network edge executing ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor cans are now being offered by four major companies. Heavy research and production is being pressed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Co., ...

Why it matters: For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer chips that use light instead of electricity to process information. While our current silicon chips are incredibly fast, ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...
