Advanced Micro Devices has created new high-performance transistors in its labs based on the simple concept that sometimes two are better than one. The chipmaker said Tuesday it has manufactured in ...
The classic metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is the workhorse of the microelectronics industry. MOSFETs are the building blocks of microprocessors, memory chips and ...
For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer ...
Motorola has put two transistors in one. Researchers at the company's Austin, Texas, laboratory said Monday that they have developed a dual-gate transistor in which the two gates can act independently ...
Gate-All-Around Transistors: In a new design, the transistor channel is made up of an array of vertical nanowires. The gate surrounds all the nanowires, which improves its ability to control the flow ...
The chipmaker says that the futuristic transistor, designed to let electricity flow more freely inside chips, is moving closer to reality. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where ...
Regular on/off switches rely on fingers and springs to bring bits of wire together or apart. When the wires touch, electrons flow from one to the other, and your computer/nightlight/sock warmer is on.
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 ...
