“It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever,” a Peking University statement claims. That is a confidence boost for a paradigm-shifting semiconductor technology breakthrough. The silicon ...

Semiconductor chips are electronic devices that store and process information. Today they can contain billions of microscopic switches on a chip smaller than a fingernail.

The transistor, one of the earliest electronic components to be built using a semiconductor, is an extremely versatile device. In its most popular form it can function as an electronic switch.

Shockley Semiconductor Founded in 1955, Shockley Semiconductor was the brainchild of William Shockley. When he was ready to leave Bell Labs, he decided to form a company to build transistors.

This devotion has fueled the exponential growth of transistor packing density in accordance with Moore’s Law, which projects that the number of transistors on IC chips will double every two years.

The semiconductor industry faces its biggest technical challenge yet As Moore’s law fades, how can more transistors be fitted onto a chip?

Legacy semiconductor nodes are still in demand for certain applications, and India is wise to focus on them as it plans to begin its fabrication journey with nodes of 28 nm and higher.
