After dominating the electronics industry for decades, conventional silicon-based transistors are gradually approaching their limits, which is preventing engineers from further reducing their size ...

A team of scientists has developed a simple new way to protect a promising semiconductor material from one of its biggest ...

With help from a small transistor, a team of researchers led by Professor Fengnian Xia figured out a way to make a type of ...

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Young’s POSTECH team publishes high-performance device in Nature, targets next-generation semiconductor industry ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

Air is absolutely essential for human life, but for certain semiconductors, it is a deadly poison. The moment these materials ...

The company, along with others, is pursuing a new paradigm for cramming more transistors on chips—building up.

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 ...

These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...
