The company, along with others, is pursuing a new paradigm for cramming more transistors on chips—building up.

Austin, Texas — With the difficult back-end transition to low-k dielectrics and copper still fresh in chip makers' minds, this week's Semicon West, the equipment industry's biggest annual gathering, ...

In recent weeks, there have been a number of tributes heralding the invention of the transistor, which was invented by Bell Lab scientists in 1947 and has spawned the modern generation of electronics.

At the recent 2026 IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits, imec, in partnership with the lithography solution ...

Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the intrinsic limits in efficiency faced by conventional semiconductor transistors ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

In this work, a highly sensitive flexible glucose sensor based on a field effect transistor (FET) has been fabricated. It is shown that the proposed flexible transistor can be used as new ...

Way back in the salad days of digital computing (the 1940s and '50s), computers were made of vacuum tubes -- big, hot, clunky devices that, when you got right down to it, were essentially glorified ...
