For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer ...

* The transition to 3-D continues the pace of technology advancement, fueling Moore’s Law for years to come. * An unprecedented combination of performance improvement and power reduction to enable new ...

A new way to switch transistors could overcome the power consumption and undesirable current leakage problems encountered in conventional nanoscale field-effect devices. The new technique, which works ...

A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Expensive optical-to-electronic-to-optical converters are needed to switch photonic signals. Now, researchers have demonstrated an excitonic transistor that can perform the operation ...

Motorola has put two transistors in one. Researchers at the company's Austin, Texas, laboratory said Monday that they have developed a dual-gate transistor in which the two gates can act independently ...
