A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

MOSFETs were not originally better than the junction transistor, but they are much easier to make on an integrated circuit or microprocessor, and so they soon became the preferred type of transistor.

While one lab at Bell was trying to improve those first type-A transistors, William Shockley was working on a whole different design that would eventually get rid of these problems. Early in 1948 ...

CMOS technology combines two types of transistors that work together, leading to efficient power use and high noise immunity. CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and ...

In an effort to overcome this fundamental limit of silicon, MIT researchers fabricated a different type of three-dimensional ...

Charge distribution under different biasing conditions, C-V characteristics: Frequency dependence, Effects of oxide charge on flat band and threshold voltages in non-ideal MOS, and Types of oxide ...
