Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium–tin alloy that has several advantages over conventional switching elements. Charge carriers can move ...

An important breakthrough has been reached in the development of energy-efficient electronic circuits using transistors based on germanium. A team of scientists from the Nanoelectronic Materials ...

AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...

Before this work it was not possible to perform quantum calculations using only transistors. Other elements were needed and this provided a limitation for upscaling. This work shows a single ...

A Si–Gr–Ge transistor has been demonstrated. The Schottky emitter provides an emitter charging time of ~118 ps with a current of 692 A cm−2 and a capacitance of 41 nF cm−2, which is expected to ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have used metal germanides at the metal-germanium interface, with suitable surface crystal planes, to improve contact resistance and device performance in ...

It might look like something out of Tron, but you’re actually looking at a new type of transistor made out of germanium—which is four times faster than those currently in use. The new transistor, ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become ...
