Intel announced a major technology shift today in a move that fundamentally changes how the company will build transistors in the years to come. Starting with Ivy Bridge, Intel is adopting what it ...

Toshiba wants to redefine power consumption at the transistor level -- and that means switching to a new type of transistor. Could tunneling FETs clear the way for another 10 years of power scaling?

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

The operation of field‐effect transistors (FETs) critically depends on the performance of gate dielectrics, which act as the insulating medium between the gate electrode and the semiconducting channel ...

IBM announced last week that it has developed the technology to produce chips with 2nm transistors. You may remember from other episodes of our explainer show, Upscaled, that smaller transistors ...

THE computer industry is built on sand. For sand contains silicon, and silicon is an excellent material for building transistors, the tiny electrical switches used in a microprocessor chip. It is the ...
