The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...

Junctionless transistors and nanowire devices represent a paradigm shift in semiconductor technology. By eliminating traditional p–n junctions, these devices offer a simplified fabrication process ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

Bell Labs scientists behind the invention of the transistor would, at last, have the U.S. Patent in their hands.

AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...

MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in memory.
