Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

In the same way that a pillow filled with pebbles is harder to get smooth than one stuffed with sand, chip makers are finding it harder to make transistors behave predictably as they shrink. Here, the ...

Reducing required board space in space-challenged devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and media players by both reducing parts count and device dimensions, two families of digital transistors integrate ...

To take chip designs to the next level, IBM and Samsung are researching how to build semiconductor transistors vertically to free up more space on the silicon. The research has led the companies to ...

Conjugated polymers are the subject of intensive research and development, as they promise large area fabrication of semiconductor devices via low-temperature solution processing. With regard to ...

FETs are mono-polar transistors. The current passing from drain to source doesn’t cross a P-N junction, as in a bipolar transistor. Because of this, the parts are resistive when you turn them on with ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...
