Even as industry moves into the era of the high k metal gate (HKMG) and FinFET transistor, chipmakers continue to seek ways to improve device performance. One of the latest advances and the subject of ...

Quickly learn what the difference is between PMOS and NMOS transistors in their structure and operation, and how CMOS works with the two in combination. Siliwiz, a free, browser-based, ASIC layout ...

For years—decades, in fact—the NMOS transistor world has been on cruise control. NMOS is naturally faster and its performance has scaled better than PMOS. PMOS has had a cost advantage. But lately, it ...

The use of germanium instead of silicon as basic material of transistors would enable faster chips containing smaller transistors. However, a number of problems still have to be solved. Transistors ...

For many decades, progress in electronics has been driven by a gradual reduction in the size of silicon transistors (electronic switches). However, this scaling is becoming increasingly difficult and ...

KYOTO, Japan — Intel Corp. researchers have provided a peek at a transistor with a gate length measuring just 20 nanometers, which Intel expects to put into production in 2007 when its microprocessors ...

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the industry's first seven-channel, NMOS low-side driver, replacing standard Darlington transistor arrays with a power-efficient, drop-in compatible integrated ...

[Joe Wingbermuehle] has an interest in computers-of-old, and some past experience of building computers on perfboard from discrete transistors, so this next project, Q2, is a complete implementation ...
