Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

The transistor has been around since the nineteen forties. In fact, the FET (Field Effect Transistor) was actually developed before the more common bipolar type. Bipolar transistors use semiconductor ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides are discrete 2D atomically thin layers bound together by Van der Waals forces. These materials exhibit thickness-dependent variations in their physical properties that ...

Dimensional scalability of field effect transistors (FETs) has reached the Boltzmann tyranny limit because of transistors’ inability to handle the generated heat 1. To reduce the power dissipation of ...

We introduced a novel water-gated field effect transistor (WG-FET) which uses 16-nm-thick mono-Si film as active layer. WG-FET devices use electrical double layer (EDL) as gate insulator and operate ...
