A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

Frequent contributor Christopher Paul recently provided us with a painstakingly conservatively error-budget-analyzed Design Idea (DI) for a state-of-the-art pursuit of a 16-bit-perfection PWM DAC. The ...

So What Was the Transistor Good For? Transistors may have been useful to the phone company and to a handful of scientists building computers, but that wasn't enough to build an industry. Companies ...

Semiconductor equipment suppliers are poised to benefit from Nvidia's investment in Intel. The buildout of AI infrastructure requires global investment in semiconductor manufacturing. Equipment ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

Abstract: Two-transistor-zero-capacitor (2T0C) DRAM cell has been proposed and extensively investigated as a memory device for processing-in-memory (PIM) applications. In this two-part article, we ...

Abstract: The co-integration of negative differential resistance (NDR) and Si-based CMOS technology might be a promising concept for multimode devices and circuits with enhanced performance and ...
