Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

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

Transistors are a type of semiconductor device that regulates the flow of electric current and voltage. From amplifying sound signals to enabling wireless communication, they are essential components ...

Silicon-Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (SiGe HBTs) represent a critical advancement in semiconductor technology, integrating a silicon base with germanium to markedly enhance frequency ...

Transistors, specifically those made from silicon, are the cornerstone of modern electronics. From toasters to televisions, transistors appear in nearly everything with a circuit. They are also only ...

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress ...

The trade-off between carrier mobility and stability in amorphous oxide semiconductor-based thin film transistors (TFTs) has been finally overcome by researchers in an ingeniously fabricated indium ...
