San Francisco — After months of intense and reportedly often heated debate, the Compact Model Council has selected a new industry standard CMOS transistor model. Jointly developed by Pennsylvania ...

The most widely used integrated circuit (IC) technology. Although the term CMOS "transistor" is widely used, it is somewhat misleading because in order to reduce power consumption, CMOS is actually ...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for ...

CMOS opened the door for many if not most of the properties needed for today’s highly integrated circuits and low power portable and mobile devices. This really couldn’t happen until the speeds and ...

Freescale Semiconductor has demonstrated a breakthrough transistor that overcomes many of the design and manufacturing challenges associated with vertical multi-gate devices. Image: ITFET Technology.

An international team of researchers from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), IBM, the University of Edinburgh and Auburn University have shown that a new device concept - a 'squishy' transistor - ...

Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is a critical reliability concern in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) devices, manifesting as a progressive shift in the threshold voltage of ...

March 24, 2022 -- The Flat Field Transistor (FFT) developed by Semiwise offers a solution to the DRAM scaling problems improving dramatically the margins of the DRAM sense amplifiers. Although the ...

Just before fabrication, the design flow of all integrated circuits (ICs) culminates in transistor-based, top-level simulations. Unfortunately, verifying functionality, connectivity, and performance ...
