TSMC makes the most advanced semiconductors in the world. They are the tiny electronic “brains” that power most modern ...

Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

With the right mix of materials, TFETs promise cooler, smaller, and more efficient circuits for everything from the Internet of Things to brain-inspired computers. But before they can leave the lab, ...

Shrinking chips are hitting a wall. Traditional transistors, the workhorses of modern electronics, are struggling to switch faster without guzzling power. A rival design, the tunnel field-effect ...

Abstract: This study examines the differences in transistor current flow and power consumption between 6T and 9T SRAM cells. With an emphasis on energy efficiency, it assesses both transient and DC ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...
