Silicon's crown is under threat: The semiconductor's days as the king of microchips for computers and smart devices could be numbered, thanks to the development of the smallest transistor ever to be ...

Metal-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MESFETs) have long been pivotal in bridging fundamental semiconductor physics with high-performance electronic applications. As devices that combine metal ...

Researchers have devised and tested a new, highly sensitive method of detecting and counting defects in transistors -- a matter of urgent concern to the semiconductor industry as it develops new ...

Epitaxy is a process by which a thin layer of one crystal is deposited in an ordered fashion onto a substrate crystal. The direct epitaxial growth of semiconductor heterostructures on top of ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

A transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals is the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). Its significance came only during the mid and late 1960s although it ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have demonstrated the high-performance potential of an experimental transistor made of a semiconductor called beta gallium oxide, which could bring new ...

told through eight everyday products. From cities that never sleep to remote rural villages, one technology is changing how we live and work. From the smartphones in our pockets to the vast ...

Integrated devices based on two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, which exhibit excellent properties even at the ultimate limit of material thickness down to the atomic scale, are a major focus of ...
