As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

MOSFETs were not originally better than the junction transistor, but they are much easier to make on an integrated circuit or microprocessor, and so they soon became the preferred type of transistor.

First integrated circuit. Photo courtesy of Texas Instruments TI had invested a lot of money in working with semiconductors for their transistors, learning how to purify them and how to add ...

Transistors find extensive applications in electronic circuits due to their exceptional ability to amplify or switch signals with minimal power consumption. Furthermore, they can be easily integrated ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a ...

For the fabrication of CMOS integrated circuits, both p- and n-type channel ... diamond MOSFET actually functioned as an n-channel transistor. In addition, the team verified the excellent high ...

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 ...

On January 15, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) released an interim final rule ...

Here’s a blast from the past as we reprint our news from NYC’s 1961 IRE show—the first integrated ... within the transistor package. Eight pins are standard so far for the TO-circuit package.

A landmark development led by researchers from the University of Glasgow could help create a new generation of diamond-based ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside ...
