Today’s trend in semiconductor chip manufacturing involves the miniaturizationof transistors and increasing the density of transistors per integrated circuit. Researchers at CU Boulder have developed ...

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

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

As transistor sizes shrink, short channel effects make it more difficult for transistor gates to turn a transistor ON and OFF [1]. One method to overcome this problem is to move away from planar ...

Dual-gate graphene transistor enables 20x more sensitive biosensing in liquids The new framework can power sensors that ...

There's been no greater act of magic in technology than the sleight of hand performed by Moore's Law. Electronic components that once fit in your palm have long gone atomic, vanishing from our world ...

DRAM makes up the bulk of non-volatile memory in computer systems. Much has been done lately to mix non-volatile storage with DRAM. However, DRAM’s performance and capacity still win out when it comes ...

In logic devices such as finFETs (field-effect transistors), metal gate parasitic capacitance can negatively impact electrical performance. One way to reduce this parasitic capacitance is to optimize ...

The chipmaker unveils an experimental transistor with three gates, in a continued effort to find ways to increase performance while conserving electricity. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET ...
