You need high currents delivered speedily to get the most out of silicon-carbide transistors. Here, Paul Rako looks under the hood of Power Integrations’ SIC1182K.

To prevent that, designers are working on new transistor structures with multiple gates to ensure the transistor can turn off and minimize leakage current.

Motorola develops a dual-gate transistor in which the two gates can switch on and off independently--a twist the company says could increase performance and reduce power consumption.

GaN power transistors can shrink AC‑DC power supplies and cut losses but, to get the best out of them, their gate drive waveform needs careful attention.

To get a functioning transistor, however, you need more than just a semiconductor like MoS 2: you need a gate to control whether it conducts or not. To get something of the appropriate size, the ...

Researchers in Sweden have created electronic circuits and devices that are integrated within living plant material. The team introduced a conductive polymer into the vascular system of plants, which ...

The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) refers to a three-terminal semiconductor switching device used in a variety of electronic devices for fast switching with high efficiency.
