But they have a rich history, going back through the silicon era to germanium junction transistors, and thence to the original devices. if you’ve ever looked at the symbol for a transistor and ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil contacts sitting on a germanium crystal. Current coming in one ...

A new transistor using tunneling current ... has been successfully developed by utilizing junctions composed of strained-Silicon and Germanium. Minsoo Kim, Yuki Wakabayashi, Ryosho Nakane, Masafumi ...
