Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

The two techniques, strained silicon and silicon on insulator (SOI), have been brought together for the first time in a technique called strained silicon directly on insulator (SSDOI), IBM said.

For decades, transistors - the heart of our computer chips - have been getting smaller and smaller. As a result, the electronic components in many devices can be made ever more compact, faster and ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

An international team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford, Lancaster University, and the University of Waterloo have developed a new single-molecule ...

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. has previewed a new chipmaking process that will facilitate the production of faster, more efficient data center processors. TSMC’s 1.6-nanometer process, ...
