A 1-kW resistor delivers bias current to an 8.2V zener diode at the base of the npn transistor and provides base current to the npn. This arrangement sets the npn's emitter and the FET gate connected ...

Synopsys TCAD tools are well suited to address the simulation challenges of GAA technology. Utilizing fundamental atomic ...

Transistors based on two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten diselenide (WSe2), could outperform conventional silicon-based transistors, while also being ...

After dominating the electronics industry for decades, conventional silicon-based transistors are gradually approaching their ...

The new type of transistor, known as the "cryo-CMOS transistor," is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit near-zero heat. A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat ...

A team of Johns Hopkins materials scientists made a surprising discovery that could change the way memory works in ...

A simple, low cost, and precision frequency meter uses only two pins of a pc parallel port (Figure 1). The TTL-level periodic input signal with frequency f IN connects to the ACK pin of LPT1. This ...

Suppose we have the circuit diagram in Figure 1, it simulates a simple linear voltage regulator based on a 2N3055 NPN transistor, a Zener diode, and some resistors. The purpose of the circuit is to ...

Researchers at Stanford University recently introduced a CMOS-compatible approach to engineer the tensile strain (i.e., stretchiness) in monolayer semiconductor transistors. "We started brainstorming ...

Abstract: We demonstrate ultra thin body, high-κ, metal gate, Si transistors down to 3 nm Si channel thickness. We further show that there is an enhancement (~20%) of injection velocity when channel ...
