If you open up the perennial favourite electronics textbook The Art Of Electronics and turn to the section on transistors, you will see a little cartoon. A transistor is shown as a room in which ...

The basic rules by which chips are being designed could be wrong, physicists have warned. Researchers at the US National Institute of Science and Technology have warned that a flaw exists in ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...

A scientific team has managed to stack 41 layers of semiconductors, multiplying the density of the circuits by six, without ...

Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...

Almost all computer chips use two types of transistors: one called p-type, for positive, and one called n-type, for negative. Improving the performance of the chip as a whole requires parallel ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...
