The most widely used integrated circuit (IC) technology. Although the term CMOS "transistor" is widely used, it is somewhat misleading because in order to reduce power consumption, CMOS is actually ...

The transistor, an invention that heralded a new era in electronics, is the key component of practically all integrated circuits (ICs) and microprocessors. The point-contact transistor that Walter H.

Electronic engineers at Japan's GNC and AIST research centers have successfully created graphene transistors that are constructed and operated in a way that redefines 50 years of transistor ...

Using just two NAND or inverter gates its possible to build a D type (or ‘toggle’) flip-flop with a push-button input. At power-up the output of gate N2 is at a logical ‘1’, ensuring that transistor T2 ...

KYOTO, Japan — Intel Corp. researchers have provided a peek at a transistor with a gate length measuring just 20 nanometers, which Intel expects to put into production in 2007 when its microprocessors ...

BANGALORE, INDIA: Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd (FMAL) announced that Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd and Fujitsu Microelectronics Ltd have co-developed a CMOS logic process-based high-voltage ...

Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double roughly every 24 months, continues to be the guiding principle of the ...

The microelectronics revolution might best be characterized by the motto 'smaller is better'. A unique attribute of the silicon metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), the ...

Back in 1999, Bob Pease touched on the operation of CMOS transistors in subthreshold mode. In his article, he pointed out that analog designers can use CMOS ICs such as the CD4007, a dual matched pair ...

Chipmakers continue to scale the CMOS transistor to finer geometries, but the question is for how much longer. The current thinking is that the CMOS transistor could scale at least to the 3nm node in ...
