Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

A team of Chinese researchers has built a ferroelectric transistor with a gate length of just 1 nanometer that runs on 0.6 ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

The smaller electronic components become, the more complex their manufacture becomes. This has been a major problem for the chip industry for years. At TU Wien, researchers have now succeeded for the ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

In the vast reaches of the semiconductor cosmos, a silent menace lurks—one that can obliterate years of design work in a fraction of a nanosecond. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) verification stands as ...

Perhaps surprisingly, the solution came from a shift in thinking rather than just using fewer transistors. Engineers started assembling processors like ...
