The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

Research groups in Japan and the U.S. jointly developed a double-layered nanowire, consisting of a germanium core and a silicon shell, which is a promising material for high-speed transistor channels.

Substituting the values from Table 1 into Equation 3 and 4, values for η and R S are obtained for this 'thermal diode' treated as a 2-terminal diode and listed in Table 2. Figure 2 is a plot of two ...

The heart of a processor inside a computer and other devices is the transistor. The more transistors that can be crammed inside a CPU, the better the device performs. There is a limit to how small a ...

The following automatic battery-charger design is created with a circuit that could qualify as the simplest window comparator ever built around a single transistor (see the figure). It starts charging ...

The circuit was constructed around the functionality of a Class A amplifier to create a headphone circuit. BC308 – an epitaxial planar PNP transistor used for general purpose and low noise amplifier ...

The general fabrication process flow is designed to enable high device yield, device-to-device uniformity, good material compatibility between layers, and good electrical and mechanical performances.

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...

An international team of researchers have used a unique tool inserted into an electron microscope to create a transistor that’s 25,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. The research, ...

A graphene-based spin field-effect transistor has been used in an operating at room temperature. Using the spin of the electrons in graphene and other layered material heterostructures the researchers ...

We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...
