Scalability: Transistors can be mass-produced very efficiently, allowing for the creation of complex integrated circuits containing billions of transistors.

CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and p-type (pMOS), which work together in pairs in a complementary manner. The term "complementary" refers to how these two ...

A new vertical architecture, in which the semiconductor is sandwiched vertically between the electrodes, boosts performance and could allow stacking transistors for dense electronic circuits.

Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon ...

Mohamed Atalla of Egypt and Dawon Kahng of Korea are responsible for the technology that helped harness the transistor’s power.

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions.
