The major disadvantages of this approach are (1) the time and trouble required to set the many parameters that control the simulation process, including the degree of transistor model simplification, ...

So What Was the Transistor Good For? Transistors may have been useful to the phone company and to a handful of scientists building computers, but that wasn't enough to build an industry.

After the transistor was invented, Pearson continued to work with Shockley to develop an improved model. One of Pearson's crucial contributions was to build thin semiconductor filaments less than ...
