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 ...

Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years after Texas Instruments and Regency introduced the first transistor ...

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 ...

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

In DRAM chips, besides access transistors, peripheral transistors must meet stringent requirements which preclude a ...

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.

It says something about your career at a company that makes hundreds of trillions of transistors every day when your nickname is “Mr. Transistor.” That’s what colleagues often call Tahir ...

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 ...

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 ...

Until 2018, DRAM peripheral transistors were predominantly made in planar logic MOSFET technology with poly-Si/SiO 2 or ...

Explore a straightforward method to using just one transistor. This clever technique powers small devices with minimal components, making it an efficient and practical solution. Watch as the process ...
