First Bizen Quantum Tunnelling Transistors Launched

First Bizen Quantum Tunnelling Transistors Launched

A UK startup is to ship its first 1200V power devices using a new silicon architecture called Bizen that fits into TO247 or TO263 packages. by Nick Flaherty @ eenewseurope.com The first devices to use the Bizen process technology include three parts rated at 1200V/75A, 900V/75A and 650V/32A, available in the industry-standard TO247 or TO263 power MOSFET packages. These are […]

Single-atom Transistor ‘recipe’ Simplifies Atomic-scale Fabrication

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland say they have developed a step-by-step recipe to produce single-atom transistors. by Rich Pell @ smart2zero.com Transistors consisting of only several-atom clusters or even single atoms, say the researchers, promise to become the building blocks of a new generation of computers

Driving Down the on Resistance of Silicon Carbide Transistors

Driving Down the on Resistance of Silicon Carbide Transistors

UnitedSiC has developed silicon carbide transistors in standard packages with the world’s lowest on resistance. Chris Dries, CEO, talks to Nick Flaherty about the significance of the move. UnitedSiC has launched four silicon carbide SiC transistors with the world’s lowest on resistance RDS(on) to open up new applications. What we are doing is pretty incredible

How to Lower Relay Power Consumption

How to Lower Relay Power Consumption

Relays are often used as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the control input. On the other hand, the power dissipation in a relay coil may be unattractive for battery-operated applications. You can lower this dissipation by adding an analog switch that allows the relay to operate at a

A Carbon Nanotube Microprocessor Mature Enough to Say Hello

Did you know that researchers are looking for an alternative to silicon? Did you know in principle that Carbon Nanotubes processor could run three times faster while consuming about one-third of the energy of their silicon predecessor? The Engineers at MIT and Analog Devices have created the first fully programmable 16-bit Carbon Nanotube microprocessor. Since Silicon Transistor
