Walter Brattain. The introduction of the transistor is often considered one of the most important inventions in history. Transistors are broadly classified...

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. It is one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics...

junction transistor (BJT) is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and electron holes as charge carriers. In contrast, a unipolar transistor, such...

required large heavy batteries. Following the invention of the transistor in 1947—which revolutionized the field of consumer electronics by introducing small...

Transistor–transistor logic (TTL) is a logic family built from bipolar junction transistors. Its name signifies that transistors perform both the logic...

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that uses an electric field to control the current through a semiconductor. It comes in two types:...

A transistor computer, now often called a second-generation computer, is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes. The first...

The transistor count is the number of transistors in an electronic device (typically on a single substrate or silicon die). It is the most common measure...

field-effect transistor (FinFET) is a multigate device, a MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor) built on a substrate where the gate is...

electronics, the metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, MOS FET, or MOS transistor) is a type of field-effect transistor (FET),...
