It uses the same basic graphics and style as his earlier video on bipolar transistors (second video, below) which is a great one to watch, too. In all fairness to your electronics teacher ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor ... let’s go through the basics. Here’s a simple FET ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

But in 1951, Shockley improved upon the original idea with a junction transistor. The importance of this small item gradually sank in. The transistor was a solid (thus the term "solid-state ...

These are the basic building blocks of modern computation. Semiconductor devices called transistors are the tiny electronic switches that run computations inside our computers. Scientists in the ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

FinFET Transistor Basics A finFET — a type of field-effect transistor (FET) — can be envisioned as a traditional planar CMOS transistor turned on its side so that the gate polysilicon can interface ...
