They were the first company to produce silicon transistors -- and consequently the first company to produce a truly consistent mass-produced transistor. Scientists knew about the problems with ...
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 ...
A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat — slashing energy usage in future quantum computers by up to 1,000 times and paving the way for massively scaled-up machines. The ...
According to a recent IEEE article, a transistor cost about $8 in today’s money back in the 1960’s. Consider the Regency TR-1, the first transistor radio from TI and IDEA. In late 1954 ...
On December 16, 1947, they demonstrated the first working transistor, now known as the point-contact transistor (a feat for which they were awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics). The first ...
Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years after Texas Instruments and Regency introduced the first transistor ...
the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first silicon chips used bipolar transistors, most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as ...
some six years after Texas Instruments and Regency brought the first transistor radio to market. Designed to be portable, the TV8 featured an eight-inch black and white display complete with an ...
