This year's chart contains specifications for 1714 transistor types; last year, 1088 types were submitted for publication by semiconductor makers. With close to a 60% increase in the number of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

Chipmakers are currently ramping up silicon-based finFETs at the 16nm/14nm node, with plans to scale the same technology to 10nm. Now, the industry is focusing on the transistor options for 7nm and ...

Complicated and expensive technologies are being planned all the way to 2030, but it’s not clear how far the scaling roadmap will really go. Despite a slowdown in chip scaling amid soaring costs, the ...

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 ...

Among semiconductors, the muting transistor and its audio application is perhaps the most obscure and poorly understood of all. There is extremely little information on this subject available on the ...

A modern processor, whether it powers a toaster or a supercomputer, is made up of building blocks known as transistors. Generally speaking, companies that develop transistors aim to do two things with ...
