Transistors come in different flavors. Tubes used an electric field to regulate current flow, and researchers wanted to find something that worked the same way without the drawbacks like vacuum and ...

In 1947, Shockley, Brattain and Bardeen were investigating the field effect transistor but lead them into inventing the bipolar transistor instead. In 1952, the field effect transistor of Shockley was ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first ...

The first member of a family of high-performance bipolar power transistors, the 3STR1630 NPN transistor employs a unique low-voltage planar technology that uses a double-metal process. The first ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the first in a new series of high performance bipolar power transistors, which it claims boosts bipolar power transistor capability by 50%. According to ST, the ...

How do you sort through this overwhelming number of devices? One way is to start by selecting the optimal process technology. Most manufacturers clearly label an op amp as CMOS, bipolar, or even ...

Indium selenide (InSe), a next-generation 2D semiconductor nanomaterial, has seen attention for its superior electron mobility compared to silicon semiconductors and a saturation speed more than twice ...

Since the Industrial Revolution, access to energy and power has been crucial to economic prosperity throughout the world. According to statistics published by the U.S. Energy Information ...

The handedness or “chirality” of electrons affects how current flows in graphene transistors, according to new work done by researchers in the UK and Russia. The team’s findings could help to make ...

Organic bipolar transistors can also handle demanding data processing and transmission tasks on flexible electronic elements - for example here, for electrocardiogram ...
