Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a Topological Core architecture, paving the way for a ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

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.

One of the attractions of the JFET is its bang-per-buck. For a given on-resistance, this chip can be smaller than other forms ...

This leads to a common difficulty: ensuring the switching transistor and rectifying diode are fast enough at the required current level with enough margin. [Mirko] points out several components ...

Transistor.” That’s what colleagues often call Tahir Ghani, a senior fellow and the director of process pathfinding in Intel’s technology development group. Ghani’s career spans three ...

Although many scientists contributed along the way, it was three men who really brought the transistor to life, and each played a different role: the thinker, the tinkerer, and the visionary.

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 ...

Infineon Technologies addresses this challenge by announcing the high-performance gallium nitride CoolGaN™ G3 Transistor 100 ...
