Transistors are no doubt one of humankinds greatest inventions. However, the associated greatness brings with it unprecedented complexity under the hood. To fully understand how a transistor works, ...

The sandwich transistor was William Shockley's brainchild. It's also called the junction transistor. While the rest of the lab was busy researching Bardeen and Brattain's point-contact transistor, ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master the fundamentals of semiconductors and evaluate the performance of electronic devices by completing courses in semiconductor physics, PN ...

A transistor fabricated from the crystalline phase of an organic semiconductor material could provide a path to improved switching speeds — rivalling those of devices built from inorganic materials ...

The term "quantum junction transistors" (QJTs) may conjure images of dilithium crystals, flux capacitors, and other imaginary power technologies, but an early demonstration run of Nottingham-based ...

GeneSiC’s SiC-based 1200 V/220 mΩ Super Junction Transistors (SJTs) feature high temperature (> 300 °C) operation capability, ultra-fast switching transitions ( 15 ns), extremely low losses, and a ...

In an effort to achieve higher power density, and to meet strict efficiency regulations and system up-time requirements, industrial and power electronic designers are challenged with constantly ...

In What’s the point?: The Point Contact transistor I discussed Shockley’s white paper on the theory of the Point Contact Transistor. Let’s look further into this early transistor design. It is ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first ...
