IBM has built the world's fastest silicon-based transistor, a development that promises to make telecommunications chips run faster on less power, the company said Monday.
13.
After much experimentation, they found that there was simply no way the germanium-based transistors could be run much faster than those used in the 1604.
14.
The IBM announcement comes just weeks after an announcement from Intel, at an advanced materials conference in Japan, that it had developed the fastest silicon-based transistor.
15.
Based on a novel'plug and play'design methodology, using gallium nitride-based transistors, the amplifiers are specifically designed for use in Electromagnetic Compatibility ( EMC ) test equipment
16.
The diode prevented the transistor from saturating by minimizing the forward bias on the collector-base transistor junction, thus reducing the minority carrier injection to a negligible amount.
17.
In 1955, years after Motorola started its research and development laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona, to research new solid-state technology, Motorola introduced the world's first commercial high-power germanium-based transistor.
18.
Cray then decided the solution was to work with the then-new silicon-based transistors from Fairchild Semiconductor, which were just coming onto the market and offered dramatically improved switching performance.
19.
In his patent the Schottky diode prevented the transistor from saturating by minimizing the forward bias on the collector-base transistor junction, thus reducing the minority carrier injection to a negligible amount.
20.
Nanotube-based transistors, also known as carbon nanotube field-effect transistors ( CNTFETs ), have been made that operate at room temperature and that are capable of digital switching using a single electron.
