Transistors are also integral to high-frequency applications like the oscillator circuits in radio signal generation. Transistors possess some unique characteristics that make them ideal for use in ...

Explore a straightforward method to using just one transistor. This clever technique powers small devices with minimal components, making it an efficient and practical solution. Watch as the process ...

Most early commercial transistors were junction transistors and are the type used in the activity on the next two pages. However, the most common modern transistor, the one that is found by the ...

While it is hard to imagine today, securing a license to produce transistors was difficult in the early days. What’s worse is, even with the license, it was not feasible to use the crude devices ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny ...

A slight surprise comes in how point contact transistors are used, unlike today’s devices their gain in common emitter mode was so poor that they took instead a common base configuration.

Glasgow University researchers have led work that could lead to a new generation of diamond-based transistors for use in high-power electronics. The team has found a new way to use diamond as the ...

"At the time, there were very few experimental demonstrations of using strain to improve performance in two-dimensional (2D) material transistors, and none accomplished this using methods that are ...
