This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of modern electronics, transistors control the flow of current and enable ...

Power MOSFETs have become the standard choice for the main switching devices in a broad range of power conversion applications. They are majority carrier devices with no minority carrier injection, ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

Metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) see common use in applications ranging from the very small (like CPU transistors) to very large (power) switching applications. Although ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

The first transistor was successfully demonstrated at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in 1947. This three-terminal device has spawned many of the electronics devices that make possible ...

Owing to the difficulties associated with substitutional doping of low-dimensional nanomaterials, most field-effect transistors built from carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional crystals and other ...

Discrete power MOSFETs employ semiconductor processing techniques that are similar to those of today’s VLSI circuits, although the device geometry, voltage and current levels are significantly ...
