Home > Science What Is a Transistor, and How Does It Work? Join us for a deep dive into the tiny technology that powers the world.

How Do Transistors Work? At its core, a transistor is an electronic gatekeeper. It controls the flow of electric current through a semiconductor material.

Scalability: Transistors can be mass-produced very efficiently, allowing for the creation of complex integrated circuits containing billions of transistors.

A new vertical architecture, in which the semiconductor is sandwiched vertically between the electrodes, boosts performance and could allow stacking transistors for dense electronic circuits.

Researchers demonstrate “a low-voltage organic ternary logic circuit, in which the organic HTR was vertically integrated with the organic nonvolatile flash memory.” “Multi-valued logic (MVL) circuits ...
