By dumping silicon for indium-oxide, researchers have made tiny transistors that outperform devices previously made.

Microwaves can control a single quantum bit more precisely than ever before, creating a device similar to a quantum ...

In the simple circuit shown in Figure 9.9 (the case shown is for an NPN transistor, but a virtually identical circuit ... and the operating limits imposed by the need to avoid this failure mechanism ...

Paul Schimel discusses the nuances of these MOSFET bugaboos and how to mitigate them from the start with solid design practices. What you'll learn: MOSFET ABCs. MOSFET false turn-on mechanisms.

Let’s take a closer look at how NPN and PNP transistors work. There are two main types of transistor: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field effect transistors (FETs). BJTs are made of ...

A technical paper titled “Uncovering the doping mechanism of nitric oxide in high-performance P-type WSe2 transistors” was ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward ...

If you want to control it from a 3.3 V MCU that can’t handle the high-side voltage on its pins, you can add a NPN transistor section as shown – this inverts the logic, making it into a more ...

The physical phenomenon of "impact ionisation" had traditionally been considered a failure mechanism in silicon transistors, but Professor Lanza's team has managed to control it and turn it into a ...

A transistor is a key component in electronics, often used as a switch or to amplify a signal from a sensor. NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistors are the most used transistor. An ...

The voltage on the emitter of the PNP transistor in this oscillator circuit is a good sawtooth (but do not load it much as it is at a high impedance). Also, the current out at the emitter of the NPN ...
