A variety of logic-circuit techniques have been in use since the 1960s, when integrated logic first came into existence. In the beginning was Resistor-Transistor Logic (RTL). Then came ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

Low power design has become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit development, driven by energy efficiency demands and the challenges of scaling in nanometre technologies. Innovations in ...

This series of articles reviews basic concepts, and is intended for hardware and software engineers working with embedded systems. In previous sessions we covered some of the fundamental electronic ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...

—The development of a process flow capable of demonstrating functionality of a monolithic complementary FET (CFET) transistor architecture is complex due to the need to vertically separate nMOS and ...

Research is underway to develop a new type of logic device, called non-volatile logic (NVL), based on ferroelectric FETs. FeFETs have been a topic of high interest at recent industry conferences, but ...

NOTTINGHAM, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A UK collaboration between Nottingham-based start-up, Search For The Next (SFN) and Glenrothes-based Semefab may be set to disrupt the semiconductor industry by ...

The 1980s and early 1990s were a bit of an odd time for semiconductor technology, with the various transistor technologies that had been used over the decades slowly making way for CMOS technology.

SemiQon, an emerging leader in the field of quantum computing hardware, today announces the launch of the world’s first transistor capable of functioning efficiently in cryogenic conditions. These ...
