WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have created a "unified model" for predicting the reliability of new designs for silicon transistors – a potential tool that industry could use ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. The spread of h FE values in a batch of transistors may be wide enough to cause unreliable performance during mass production of a ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside ...

Why might you need semiconductor system-level test (SLT)? As Karthik Ranganathan, director for semiconductor solutions at Astronics Test Systems, points out, if you test a 22-nm, ...

Researchers at the IMEC research institute in Belgium are developing a transistor with a gate width of 22nm (0.022µm) and a gate thickness of 0.5nm to test out new materials for future commercial chip ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would ...

Researchers in the US have developed a new type of organic molecular transistor that can sense and respond to its chemical environment. The device, made by Colin Nuckolls at Columbia University and ...

A small transistor that can accurately detect tiny traces of RNA from SARS-CoV-2 could herald a new breed of rapid COVID-19 screening tests (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06325).

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...
