After dominating the electronics industry for decades, conventional silicon-based transistors are gradually approaching their limits, which is preventing engineers from further reducing their size ...

The first transistor was successfully demonstrated at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in 1947. This three-terminal device has spawned many of the electronics devices that make possible ...

A SnSe₂ contact increased p-type WSe₂ drive current by more than 1,000 times and enabled a billion-fold on/off ratio in ...

A tin diselenide tunneling injector supplies charge efficiently to both n- and p-type 2D semiconductor channels, simplifying the design of ultrathin CMOS devices. (Nanowerk News) A new approach could ...

An ultrathin semiconductor that conducts electricity using positively charged ‘holes’ might clear the way for next-generation electronic devices.

Stacks of transistors built from nanomembranes that can be rolled onto a substrate have been used to fabricate 3D circuits. A transistor is a device that controls the flow of current in a circuit. In ...

Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of layered materials exhibiting unique optoelectronic properties that could be leveraged to develop transistors, sensors and other ...

Smartphones and computers process information by switching the current that flows inside semiconductors on and off. The gate ...

A transistor normally requires several fundamentally different materials—a semiconductor to carry current, an insulating dielectric to control it and metallic contacts through which current enters and ...

Scientists have created an experimental electronic component that can both remember earlier signals and process new ones, ...
