Among devices of its type, Professor Yuping Zeng’s transistor has record-setting properties, including record low gate leakage current (a measure of current loss), a record high on/off current ratio ...

For some background on current mirrors and the Widlar and Wilson current source, see: Electronic Circuit Design, Ch 7.3, Savant, Roden, Carpenter Microelectronic Circuits and Devices, Ch 8.3, ...

These electrons are zippy and help the transistor switch rapidly, but they also tend to travel up towards the gate and leak out. To prevent them from escaping, the device can be capped with a ...

The team has also developed an innovative hot-emitter transistor (HOET), achieving an ultralow sub-threshold swing of less than 1 mV/dec and a peak-to-valley current ratio exceeding 100.

Emerging large-area technologies based on organic transistors are enabling the fabrication of low-cost flexible circuits, smart sensors and biomedical devices. High-gain transistors are essential ...

Capable of driving a wide variety of loads, such as solenoids, relays, DC motors, and LED displays, this high-current transistor array is aimed at climate control and home appliance designs.

The nanotube transistors could be used in flexible displays and electronic paper. Because carbon nanotubes can carry current at much higher speeds than silicon, the devices could also be used in ...

Called a near broken-gap tunnel field effect transistor (TFET), the new device uses the quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons through an ultrathin energy barrier to provide high current at low ...

The only cause of failure left was excess base current into Q2. The maximum allowed base current is rarely given in manufacturer’s specifications. One source I found is for the 2N3904—a transistor in ...
