One thing we were pleased to see is the smiley-faced electrons don’t frown when they are doped like on the bipolar transistor. We hate to think of our friendly electrons being unhappy.

These circuits will allow you to observe the operation of a transistor as an amplifier, just as Walter Brattain did at Bell Labs in the winter of 1947. In the first circuit, you’ll use the ...

Western Electric did not want to share its crystal-growing technology, so in 1954, the team created an alloy transistor. However, it failed to work well at radio frequencies, so they shifted to ...

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.

The mosfet is off if the input voltage is normally less than \(2.0 V\). By looking at a circuit diagram of a transistor switching circuit, you should be able to say what the circuit is used for ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

A single transistor. Discrete transistors are used in myriad applications from low to high power. Early transistors were always discrete, and then they were built into integrated circuits (chips).

The same layered material can be made to behave as a superconductor, metal, semiconductor or insulator by using a transistor device developed by RIKEN physicists to tweak its electronic properties.

Transistor circuits deliver all of these functionalities in electronic computing, but for large scalable logic circuits, no optical element or circuit, either active or passive, can do this and at ...

Associate Professor Mario Lanza and his team demonstrated a groundbreaking silicon transistor that mimics neural and synaptic behaviours, marking a significant breakthrough in neuromorphic computing.
