A research team has developed an n-channel diamond MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). The developed n-channel diamond MOSFET provides a key step toward CMOS (complementary ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has unveiled a first-of-its-kind stable and fully solid-state thermal transistor that uses an electric field to control a semiconductor device's heat movement. The group's study ...

A semiconductor amplifying device with up to 100-meg input impedance is now available from an American manufacturer. (Some French firms already have announced field-effect devices.) Crystalonics, ...

Shrinking chips are hitting a wall. Traditional transistors, the workhorses of modern electronics, are struggling to switch faster without guzzling power. A rival design, the tunnel field-effect ...

This research was published in Advanced Science ("High-temperature and high-electron mobility metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors based on n-type diamond"). World’s First N-Channel ...

Squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. “The variety of electronic ...

While theoretically the ideal semiconductor, diamond has not yet become mainstream in transistors and other components. Researchers have fabricated a diamond field-effect transistor (JFET) with a ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
