The first transistor, invented at Bell Labs in 1947, was a handmade device about half an inch tall—enormous by today’s ...

Peking University transistor could outperform Intel, TSMC, and Samsung’s top silicon chips Full gate coverage boosts speed and cuts energy use in breakthrough Chinese transistor design China may ...

On April 14, 1954, Gordon Teal showed TI's Vice President, Pat Haggerty, a working silicon transistor. Haggerty knew if they could be the first to sell these new transistors, they'd have it made.

Silicon's crown is under threat: The semiconductor's days as the king of microchips for computers and smart devices could be numbered, thanks to the development of the smallest transistor ever to ...

Creating smaller transistors also will require finding a new type of insulating layer essential for the devices to switch off. As gate lengths are made smaller than 22 nanometers, the silicon dioxide ...

Using a technique known as “thermal quenching,” scientists made a quantum material that can switch instantly between ...

Smaller gates make faster operation possible. In today's 3-D silicon transistors, the length of these gates is about 22 nanometers, or billionths of a meter. The 3-D design is critical because gate ...

The silicon transistor must be the outstanding legacy of the 20th. century. Since becoming commercially available in the 1060s, the transistor has changed society and culture beyond recogition.

With silicon costs now increasing for the first time in history, this sort of innovation is hindered. AMD's (NASDAQ: AMD) processors are still built with 32 nanometer technology, for example.
