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 ...

A transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals is the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). Its significance came only during the mid and late 1960s although it ...

A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a fundamental building block of modern electronics. It is a field-effect transistor (FET) where the voltage applied to a terminal (gate) ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it has developed a trench-type 1 silicon-carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor ...

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 ...

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced it will launch a transfer-mold-type, super-mini dual inline package intelligent power module (DIPIPM) primarily used for inverter drive systems of ...

Regular on/off switches rely on fingers and springs to bring bits of wire together or apart. When the wires touch, electrons flow from one to the other, and your computer/nightlight/sock warmer is on.

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 ...
