Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has claimed the first stacked CMOS image sensor technology with a 2-layer transistor pixel. The company’s proprietary technology separates photodiodes and pixel ...

Back in 1966, a suitable toy for a geeky kid was a radio kit. You could find simple crystal radio sets or some more advanced ones. But some lucky kids got the Philips Electronic Engineer EE8 Kit on ...

A nanosheet FET, next generation transistor, is a finFET on its side with a gate wrapped around it. This enables higher performance chips at lower power. Samsung plans to introduce nanosheets at 3nm ...

Developer SuperGiant Games is best known for giving the world Bastion, which was superb, so when Transistor was announced few questioned that it would be a unique and fun experience. So it proved to ...

A small transistor that can accurately detect tiny traces of RNA from SARS-CoV-2 could herald a new breed of rapid COVID-19 screening tests (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06325).

Moore's Law, which says that the number of transistors on a computer chip will double every two years or so, has managed to hold true for decades. But we're starting to bump up against the physical ...

Students work in groups to select an electronic invention and research who and what was involved in its development. Then they create a display that summarizes the main events surrounding the ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

Complicated and expensive technologies are being planned all the way to 2030, but it’s not clear how far the scaling roadmap will really go. Despite a slowdown in chip scaling amid soaring costs, the ...

Cerebras revealed its next-gen WSE-2 (Wafer Scale Engine) chip last year during the Hot Chips 2020 conference, but the company has now provided more details at the Linley Spring Processor Conference.

Something to look forward to: Research is clearly showing a way forward to shrink transistors down even further. The creation of a 2.5nm transistor with high potential for commercial viability shines ...
