At the heart of CFETs are defect-free epitaxy, ALD dielectrics, workfunction-optimized metals, and perhaps layer transfer.

Bacterial transistors and relay strains can be combined into living circuits that process signals and perform calculations.

Backside power delivery and design technology co-optimization help enable the full potential of new transistor structures.

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Under fluorescent light, the device looks less like a computer than a tiny constellation of dots. The specks are actually ...
