A field effect transistor (FET) is a carrier device with three terminals: source, drain, and gate. In FETs, an electric field can be applied at the terminal of the gate, modifying the conductive ...

In traditional computing, these gates are made using transistors, which are semiconductor devices that can switch electronic signals on and off. By combining multiple transistors, ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Electronics devices using ferroelectric transistors would turn on instantly without the need to boot from flash or hard-disk memories. Such ferroelectric transistors would likely use ...

And the length of the gate was the thickness of the graphene sheet—a single carbon atom, or 0.34 nanometers. From there, the team simply placed source and drain electrodes on either side of the ...

An important breakthrough has been reached in the development of energy-efficient electronic circuits using transistors based on germanium. A team of scientists from the Nanoelectronic Materials ...

Researchers have created a transistor with a functional 1-nanometer gate, which they are claiming is the smallest working transistor yet made.
