Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...

One of the topics we've covered multiple times at ExtremeTech is the difficulty of continuing to scale semiconductor technology, and the related problem of improving chip performance without ...

the scaling of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si MOSFETs) and evolution of novel structure transistors in accordance with Moore’s Law, especially for modern ...

Because ARM licenses its designs, multiple companies can integrate ARM technology into a single system-on-a-chip, or SoC. A modern smartphone SoC combines CPUs, graphics processors, AI accelerators, ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have revived and improved a once-reliable technique to identify and count defects in transistors, the building blocks of modern ...

Field-effect transistors (FETs) are the cornerstone of modern electronic devices, providing the essential functionality for digital logic, analog processing and power management. The fundamental ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...
