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

Researchers at Peking University have built a transistor they say is the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...
