The next big jump in transistor evolution came with the field-effect transistor. Most modern transistors are field-effect transistors -- specifically metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things ...

Junction field effect transistors (JFET) are a type of FET in which the conducting channel lies between one or more p-n junctions. Like all transistors, JFETs have three terminals: source (S), drain ...

These elements work differently in the two main types of transistor used today: bipolar junction transistors, which came first, and the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). A ...

There are several basic types of RF transistors: Bipolar RF transistors: Consist of an N-type or P-type layer sandwiched between two layers of the opposite type. Both NPN and PNP configurations are ...

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.

Check if you have access via personal or institutional login The first book on the topic, this is a comprehensive introduction to the modeling and design of junctionless field effect transistors (FETs ...
