As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called 2-nanometer process era, the actual size of transistors—the core components of semiconductor chips—still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller ...

Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the intrinsic limits in efficiency faced by conventional semiconductor transistors ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates up to sixfold their performance prospects in real-world devices. For nearly two decades, two‑dimensional (2D ...

Researchers at Peking University in China have developed the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient transistors, which could power the artificial intelligence (AI) chips of the future. Called ...

What many engineers once saw as a flaw in organic electronics could actually make these devices more stable and reliable, according to new research from the University of Surrey and Joanneum Research ...

When one thinks of portable consumer electronics that are now largely obsolete, portable CD players, minidisc players, and portable cassette tape players are products that immediately come to mind.

ic = [] # declare a list for ic with vce = vce,sat = 0.2V ic2 = [] # declare a list for ic with vce = 2.5V ib2 = [] # declare a list for ib with vce = 2.5V ...

An Organic Electrochemical Transistor (OECT) is an organic electronic device that comprises a conjugated polymer channel in direct contact with an electrolyte. The current flowing through the device ...

Robbie has been an avid gamer for well over 20 years. During that time, he's watched countless franchises rise and fall. He's a big RPG fan but dabbles in a little bit of everything. Writing about ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...

MIT researchers have developed a new type of 3D transistor that could be more energy-efficient and powerful than current silicon-based transistors. The novel 3D transistors have been designed using ...
