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 ...

Abstract: Thermal analysis plays a critical role in the design and reliability of semiconductor devices. This paper presents an electro-thermal simulation of a semiconductor chip incorporating a ...

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 ...
