A team of Chinese researchers has built a ferroelectric transistor with a gate length of just 1 nanometer that runs on 0.6 ...

Advanced Micro Devices has created new high-performance transistors in its labs based on the simple concept that sometimes two are better than one. The chipmaker said Tuesday it has manufactured in ...

As transistor sizes shrink, short channel effects make it more difficult for transistor gates to turn a transistor ON and OFF [1]. One method to overcome this problem is to move away from planar ...

A field effect transistor (FET) is a carrier device with three terminals: source, drain, and gate. In FETs, an electric field can be applied at the terminal of the gate, modifying the conductive ...

DRAM makes up the bulk of non-volatile memory in computer systems. Much has been done lately to mix non-volatile storage with DRAM. However, DRAM’s performance and capacity still win out when it comes ...

The ‘nanometer’ number in chip manufacturing refers to the size of the smallest parts, like transistor gates. A 5nm process ...

In logic devices such as finFETs (field-effect transistors), metal gate parasitic capacitance can negatively impact electrical performance. One way to reduce this parasitic capacitance is to optimize ...

A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...
