[Simon Inns] has put together a lesson in digital logic which shows you how to build your own gates using transistors. The image above is a full-adder that he fabricated, then combined with other ...

Now, as transistor gates get smaller, that little strip of blue conducting material naturally gets smaller, and as that little strip of blue gets smaller, less current is able to squeeze through it.

In traditional computing, these gates are made using transistors, which are semiconductor devices that can switch electronic signals on and off.

A transistor made using two atomically thin materials sets size record A key transistor component is made from the edge of a sheet of graphene.

PORTLAND, Ore. Electronics devices using ferroelectric transistors would turn on instantly without the need to boot from flash or hard-disk memories. Such ferroelectric transistors would likely use a ...

At Semicon West 2013, the annual mecca for chipmakers and their capital equipment manufacturers, Applied Materials has detailed the road beyond 14nm, all the way down to 3nm and possibly beyond.

Planar Transistor Structure (left) 3D Tri-Gate Transistor Structure (right) The 3D images above depict conventional planar transistor technology and Intel's new Tri-Gate transistor structure.

WASHINGTON–Agere Systems Inc. today said its researchers have built the industry's smallest transistors using hafnium oxide instead of traditional silicon dioxide in the gate-insulator layer. The high ...
