Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

The two techniques, strained silicon and silicon on insulator (SOI), have been brought together for the first time in a technique called strained silicon directly on insulator (SSDOI), IBM said.

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.
