Scalability: Transistors can be mass-produced very efficiently, allowing for the creation of complex integrated circuits containing billions of transistors.

Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon ...

CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and p-type (pMOS), which work together in pairs in a complementary manner. The term "complementary" refers to how these two ...

Mohamed Atalla of Egypt and Dawon Kahng of Korea are responsible for the technology that helped harness the transistor’s power.

A new vertical architecture, in which the semiconductor is sandwiched vertically between the electrodes, boosts performance and could allow stacking transistors for dense electronic circuits.

Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...
