Researchers from the University of Colorado and MIT have fabricated a 3-D transistor that’s less than half the size of today’s smallest commercial models. To do so, they developed a novel ...

* The transition to 3-D continues the pace of technology advancement, fueling Moore’s Law for years to come. * An unprecedented combination of performance improvement and power reduction to enable new ...

In years past, an ISSCC presentation on a new processor would consist of detailed discussion of the chip’s microarchitecture (pipeline, instruction fetch and decode, execution units, etc.), along with ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

Something to look forward to: Research is clearly showing a way forward to shrink transistors down even further. The creation of a 2.5nm transistor with high potential for commercial viability shines ...

“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

The new transistors (above) have vertical current-carrying channels. In older designs (inset), the channels lie flat under the gates. In an effort to keep squeezing more components onto silicon chips, ...

In a major industry milestone, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. today announced that it has begun producing chips using its latest three-nanometer semiconductor manufacturing process. The process will ...

AMD's new Ryzen 7000 series "Zen 4" processors are now official, but the company didn't detail absolutely every single detail on its Zen 4 processors... but now we have some of those holes filled by ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from MIT and the University of Colorado have fabricated a 3-D transistor that’s less than half the size of today’s smallest commercial models. To do so, they developed a ...
