On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of ...

A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

The smaller electronic components become, the more complex their manufacture becomes. This has been a major problem for the ...

Bell Labs scientists behind the invention of the transistor would, at last, have the U.S. Patent in their hands.

Abstract: Conventional machine vision systems face challenges, such as data latency and energy inefficiency in cognitive tasks, primarily due to the discrete architecture of their sensing, memory, and ...

Abstract: Both CMOS bandgap voltage references and temperature sensors rely on the temperature behavior of either CMOS substrate BJTs or MOS transistors in weak inversion. Bipolar transistors are ...
