Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...

Gate-All-Around Transistors: In a new design, the transistor channel is made up of an array of vertical nanowires. The gate surrounds all the nanowires, which improves its ability to control the flow ...

There's been no greater act of magic in technology than the sleight of hand performed by Moore's Law. Electronic components that once fit in your palm have long gone atomic, vanishing from our world ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stanford University, and the University of Texas at Dallas have managed to build a transistor gate that is only 1 nanometer in length. Their ...

This is about a fourth of the size of high-end 20-nanometre-gate transistors on the market now, according to a media release from the laboratory. The team that achieved the feat was headed by faculty ...

Scientists in Australia claim to have created a transistor the size of a single atom, opening the way for the next generation of nano technology. The microscopic device is made of a single phosphorus ...

The transistor, an invention that heralded a new era in electronics, is the key component of practically all integrated circuits (ICs) and microprocessors. The point-contact transistor that Walter H.

Motorola develops a dual-gate transistor in which the two gates can switch on and off independently--a twist the company says could increase performance and reduce power consumption. Michael Kanellos ...

As transistor sizes shrink, short channel effects make it more difficult for transistor gates to turn a transistor ON and OFF [1]. One method to overcome this problem is to move away from planar ...

Advanced Micro Devices has developed two sets of next-generation transistors using different approaches that produce higher levels of performance than conventional transistors, the company said at the ...
