Sentences with phrase «conventional transistor»

«However, making dozens of devices, as we have done in our paper, is different than making a billion, which is done with conventional transistor technology today.

Just when experts were beginning to fear that the conventional transistor would become as outmoded as the eight - track tape, legendary semiconductor guru Nick Holonyak and his colleagues have recast it — literally — in a whole new light.

This atomic «current» resembled the switchable electric current in a conventional transistor.

Garnier's device is about 50 micrometres in size, more than ten times larger than conventional transistors that are etched onto silicon chips.

In conventional transistors, flat conductive channels carry electricity to gates that switch a current on or off, creating the ones and zeros that allow computers to process information.

Intel says Tri-Gate transistors consume less than half the power used by conventional transistors and can be packed more closely together on a chip.

In future, even electronic switches could be replaced by nanomechanical switches, which would use less energy for switching on and off than conventional transistors.

The flow of electrons is faster on graphene transistors than conventional transistors, which enables faster data transfers between chips, Lin said.

Graphene transistors may be able compute faster than conventional transistors, but are not ideal for PCs yet, Lin said.

Not exact matches

Quantum computing relies on particles called quantum bits, or qubits, to process data, unlike modern computers that rely on transistors packed into conventional silicon chips.

Microchips made from tiny magnets rather than conventional power - hungry transistors may enable intensive number - crunching tasks like codebreaking or image - processing using a fraction of the power.

Rather than making transistors from conventional silicon wafers, they slice the material into sheets several times thinner than a human hair.

And instead of using conventional silicon wafers for transistors and diodes, they used silicon layers only 50 nanometers thick, enabling the components to dissolve in a couple of weeks.

«Our design incorporates conventional silicon transistor switches to «turn on» operations between qubits in a vast two - dimensional array, using a grid - based «word» and «bit» select protocol similar to that used to select bits in a conventional computer memory chip,» he added.

But isn't the conventional silicon transistor doomed by fabrication problems as sizes shrink?

Henning Sirringhaus of Cambridge and his colleagues describe in Science how they fashioned this polymer into an organic transistor and used it to drive a conventional polymer - based LED built directly on top.

Unlike conventional electronic transistors, spintronic devices encode and communicate information, not with the electric currents, but rather with the spin currents or spin waves.

In conventional digital electronics, the key to building logic gates is the transistor, a component in which a modest control signal can regulate the flow of a large electric current.

Silicon offers the opportunity to build conventional and nanofluidic transistors onto the same chip for computerized control of chemical and biological processing.

«An analogy from conventional computing hardware would be that we have finally worked out how to build a transistor with good enough performance to make logic circuits, but the technology for wiring thousands of those transistors together to build an electronic computer is still in its infancy.»

Because of the lack of energy gap in natural graphene, graphene transistors do not possess the on - off ratio required for digital switching operations, which makes conventional processors better at processing discrete digital signals.

The performance of these systems is excellent: (i) the transistors have characteristics (e.g., on and off currents, etc.) that are comparable to, or better than, those of similar devices fabricated on rigid silicon supports by using conventional photolithographic methods, and (ii) the optical characteristics (e.g., switching time, contrast ratio, etc.) of the resulting displays are as good as those of low - resolution signs that use similar electronic inks and direct - drive dressing schemes.

Other research efforts into e-paper have involved using organic transistors embedded into flexible substrates, [33][34] including attempts to build them into conventional paper.
