Surrounding Gate Transistors – Price + Size + Performance
https://www.electronics-lab.com/surrounding-gate-transistors-price-size-performance/
Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted in 1965 that the number of transistors per silicon chip would double every two years. This came to be known as Moore´s Law which has been proven accurate for the last fifty years. Many scientists argue that the law is soon to be broken because of physical limitations. The end […]
Researches Solve Problems of Organic Thin Film Transistors By Developing Nanostructured Gate Dielectric
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researches-solve-problems-of-organic-thin-film-transistors-by-developing-nanostructured-gate-dielectric/
Amorphous silicon-based Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are the foundation of many modern-day technologies, such as smartphones and flat-panel TVs. Still, it comes with a few drawbacks like performance limitations due to limited carrier mobility. Provoking the researchers in search of something better. As a result, Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were developed. OTFTs have solved the problem with carrier mobility to […]
Researchers Demonstrate New More Efficient FET By Implementing Negative Capacitance

A group of Researchers from Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana demonstrated the effect called negative capacitance by making a new type of more energy efficient transistor. This new kind of Field Effect Transistor (FET) proves a theory introduced in 2008 by Supriyo Datta, the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Sayeef Salahuddin, who is a professor of Electrical Engineering and […]
Transistors- The 70-year-old invention that changed the world
https://www.electronics-lab.com/transistors-70-year-old-invention-changed-world/
Its been 70 years since the fundamental building block of electronics was created, and it has been getting smaller, and better since then. The invention that won the Nobel prize for John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley in 1956 revolutionized electronics and made it into the IEEE milestone list. Before 1947 computers used vacuum […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/brand-new-bicmos-flexible-transistor/
The transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things since its very first practically implemented device as a point-contact-transistor invented in 1947 and getting the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956. Now, engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) have built the most flexible, fully-functional transistor in the world! The BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal […]
Coulomb Transistor — A New Concept Where Metal Nanoparticles Are Used In Place Of Semiconductor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/coulomb-transistor-new-concept-metal-nanoparticles-used-place-semiconductor/
A research group at the University of Hamburg has created a unique coulomb transistor that operates on the principle of the voltage control of the electron band gap in metallic quantum-dot nanoparticles. This Single-electron transistor represents an approach to develop less power-consuming microelectronic devices. It will be possible if industry-compatible fabrication and room temperature operation […]
Diamond-Based MOSFETs Are Now Real
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diamond-based-mosfets-now-real/
A research group at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed logic circuits equipped with diamond-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) at two different operation modes – a first step toward the development of diamond integrated circuits operational under extreme environments. Is Diamond Suitable for this? In fact, diamond has high carrier mobility, a high […]

The PNP transistor is a mystery to many. But it doesn’t have to be. If you want to design circuits with transistors, it’s really worth knowing about this type of transistor. by Oyvind @ build-electronic-circuits.com PNP Transistor – How Does It Work? – [Link]
Ultralow Power Transistors Function for Years Without Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ultralow-power-transistors-function-years-without-batteries/
Researchers at Cambridge University have just achieved a spectacular breakthrough in electronics design. They have developed new ultralow power transistors that could function for months or even years without a battery. These transistors look for energy from the environment around, thus reducing the amount of power used. Dr Sungsik Lee, one of the researchers at […]
