It could, for example, be used for new memory cells or more energy-efficient transistors. This new type of transistor is called ferro-TFET and can be used in both digital and analogue circuits.

Transistors leverage multiple PN junctions. In a BJT, for example, an NPN transistor has a thin P-type base between an N-type emitter and N-type collector.

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow ...

When the economics of transistors changed, it made a lot of things practical. For example, a common piece of gear used to be a transistor tester, like the Heathkit IT-121 in the video below.

Traditional transistors are designed to perform predetermined logical functions, while RFETs are used to build circuits with functions that can be programmed on the go.

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped ...

What I really want to find, though, is a working example of the Jaeger transistor clock found in the early-to-mid-1970s Peugeot 504. This has proven very difficult.
