There’s no denying how useful surface mount technology is, and how enabling the ability to make really small circuits has become. It comes at a price, though; most of us probably know what it ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

After nearly a decade and five major nodes, along with a slew of half-nodes, the semiconductor manufacturing industry will begin transitioning from finFETs to gate-all-around stacked nanosheet ...

The Surface Pro 6 of 2018 employed a 14nm Intel Core CPU, which was fine for the job (and arguably still is), but this CPU has brought that transistor size down to 10nm, which means more ...

If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in the phone system, then they certainly could replace them in computers too. The army, with its need for ever-faster and more efficient calculations ...

As shown in the Figure 7, SOI transistor is a planner device. The fabrication process of SOI MOS is similar to bulk MOS (conventional MOS) process except for the starting silicon wafer. SOI wafers ...

When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things ...

The first transistor ever assembled. It was called a point contact transistor because amplification occurred when two pointed metal contacts were pressed onto the surface of the semi-conductor ...

If the cable is too short to reach a surface box with at least six inches ... and add a set screw connector. Mount the box to ...

A type of 3D FinFET transistor from Intel introduced in 2011 with its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The Tri-Gate design is considered 3D because the gate wraps around a raised source-to-drain ...

A new report details how it is possible for Mount Everest to continue growing ... can lead to such a dramatic response of the Earth’s surface,” University of Edinburgh Professor Mikaël ...

Boards can be made faster because surface mount technology (SMT) eliminates drilling holes for thru-hole devices, in which the pins go through the board and are soldered underneath. THIS ...
