Intel Corporation has announced a significant breakthrough in the evolution of the transistor, the microscopic building block of modern electronics. For the first time since the invention of silicon ...

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

A universal passive logic element of positive and negative logic, made on just one transistor, is proposed. The logic element has at least two inputs, as well as three outputs: an OR, an XOR, and an ...

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 ...

In the 8th May 2006 issue of EE Times, I published a “Brain Boggler” in my Logically Speaking column. The idea is that we have a black box with three inputs called A, B, and C; and three outputs ...

GaN power transistors can shrink AC‑DC power supplies and cut losses but, to get the best out of them, their gate drive waveform needs careful attention. As a German team pointed out at ISSCC, GaN ...

* The transition to 3-D continues the pace of technology advancement, fueling Moore’s Law for years to come. * An unprecedented combination of performance improvement and power reduction to enable new ...

Why it matters: Moore's Law has been on life support for a while now, but it's not dead yet. Chipmakers are burning the midnight oil to miniaturize transistor designs, and a team of researchers in ...
