Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

We’re only 7 years from the next evolution in transistors ...

Diamond CMOS needs symmetrical doping control like we have for semiconductor silicon and diamond n-MOS is needed. The n-channel diamond MOSFETs are demonstrated. This work will enable the development ...

Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...

Carbon nanotubes, large cylindrical molecules composed of hybridized carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure, recently attracted significant attention among electronics engineers. Due to their ...

For decades, chipmakers squeezed more transistors onto processors by shrinking them sideways. That playbook is running out of ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

The new type of transistor, known as the "cryo-CMOS transistor," is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit near-zero heat. A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat — ...

The semiconductor industry has relied on a simple equation for more than five decades — shrink the transistor, pack more onto every wafer, and watch performance soar as costs plummet. While each new ...

Nanoscale molybdenum disulfide memristors integrated onto standard CMOS chips achieve the lowest switching voltage reported for any 2D-material memristor on chip. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Every time a ...
