Evolution of the Transistor
In the beginning, there was the point-contact transistor. This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil ...

Transistors explained – what they are and what they do
The impressive fact is that trillions of these transistors are integrated into electronic devices all over the Earth and even in space. The exterior layers of the transistor are known as the "drain" ...

A Working Junction Transistor
Teal thought transistors should be built from a single crystal-as opposed to cutting a sliver from a larger ingot of many crystals. The boundaries between all the little crystals caused ruts that ...
