Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertical transistor that suppresses leakage at nanoscale channels and supports ...

The handedness or “chirality” of electrons affects how current flows in graphene transistors, according to new work done by researchers in the UK and Russia. The team’s findings could help to make ...

In the vast reaches of the semiconductor cosmos, a silent menace lurks—one that can obliterate years of design work in a fraction of a nanosecond. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) verification stands as ...

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

Tiny electronic devices, called microelectronics, may one day be printed as easily as words on a page, thanks to new research from scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National ...

N-MOS and P-MOS transistors are analogous respectively to NPN and PNP transistors but their conduction mechanism is based completely on one type of carrier: holes for the PMOS and electrons for the ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

A transistor is a key component in electronics, often used as a switch or to amplify a signal from a sensor. NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistors are the most used transistor. An illustration ...

A new electrically controlled MXene membrane tunes ion separation on demand, opening doors to more efficient water treatment, drug delivery and rare earth mining. The membranes are made of stacks of ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it measures “how much” current is flowing in a circuit; information that may be used for power management in a DC/DC power ...
