Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium–tin alloy that has several advantages over conventional switching elements. Charge carriers can move ...

An important breakthrough has been reached in the development of energy-efficient electronic circuits using transistors based on germanium. A team of scientists from the Nanoelectronic Materials ...

A Si–Gr–Ge transistor has been demonstrated. The Schottky emitter provides an emitter charging time of ~118 ps with a current of 692 A cm−2 and a capacitance of 41 nF cm−2, which is expected to ...

Before this work it was not possible to perform quantum calculations using only transistors. Other elements were needed and this provided a limitation for upscaling. This work shows a single ...

It might look like something out of Tron, but you’re actually looking at a new type of transistor made out of germanium—which is four times faster than those currently in use. The new transistor, ...

Transistors have come a long way. Like everything else electronic, they’ve become both better and cheaper. According to a recent IEEE article, a transistor cost about $8 in today’s money back in the ...

NASA’s new silicon-germanium (SiGe) electronics can operate at -180°C and withstand 5 Mrad radiation, enabling autonomous exploration of Europa and other ocean worlds.

(Nanowerk News) Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become ...
