After nearly a decade and five major nodes, along with a slew of half-nodes, the semiconductor manufacturing industry will begin transitioning from finFETs to gate-all-around stacked nanosheet ...

When scientists at the Bell Telephone Laboratories produced the first germanium transistor, they knew they had found a long-awaited short cut through the great glass jungle of the electronics age ...

Samsung was the first fab to launch a 3nm process in mid-2022, beating TSMC to market by about six months. Plus, its 3nm node offers gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, which none of its rivals have ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...

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 ...
