A newly-developed form of transistor opens up a range of new electronic applications including wearable or implantable devices by drastically reducing the amount of power used. Devices based on this ...

Power transistors with integrated safety and diagnostic functions have been in use since the 1980s as a replacement for mechanical relays, and their use has been growing ever since. They can be ...

Distributor Rutronik is stocking a new range of high-side drivers from STMicroelectronics. Mathias Müller assesses the new functionality available in these devices. Electronic control units have an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For over fifty years, the relentless miniaturization of silicon transistors has upheld Moore’s Law, delivering exponential leaps in computing power. However, this development ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Individual semiconductor nanowires (NWs) 9,10 and single-walled carbon nanotubes 11,12,13 have been used for nanoscale field-effect transistors (FETs) with performance comparable to or exceeding that ...

As computing demands grow, driven by artificial intelligence and the internet of things, the need for energy-efficient ...

Abstract: Single electron transistors (SETs) have attracted attention not only to the transistor function but also their interesting characteristics. We reported that the negative conductance appeared ...
