Modern computer chips contain billions of transistors etched onto a fingernail-sized piece of silicon. In fact, a typical smartphone processor now contains on the order of 15 billion transistors ...

Modern computer chips contain billions of transistors etched onto a fingernail-sized piece of silicon.

How the physics of transistors work, how components are built in silicon, and how they are connected to create useful chips? How do you transform a pile ...

How does computer memory work? To truly understand how computer memory works, we must first examine the basic building blocks that make it possible: transistors and logic gates.

Without transistors the modern world would simply not exist. But how do they work, and how do modern, atomic sized versions compare with the originals?

The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage ...

Yes, transistors are smaller, CPUs are ever faster, but we're seeing diminishing returns. Learn about 3D integration, FPGAs, chiplets, accelerators and near memory computing.

Future innovations in high-mobility transistors require looking at new materials and platforms as well as finding ways to work around existing practical limitations such as cost or material ...

IBM, Samsung Tout New Vertical Transistor for Future Computer Chips The companies announce a new 'VTFET' transistor design to help sustain Moore's Law for years to come.

For example, a logic gate in a computer is typically built from CMOS transistors (paired MOSFETs) that output a high or low voltage depending on input conditions.
