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 ...

If you open up the perennial favourite electronics ... typically in the several hundred kiloohm range. In the days of germanium transistors you would even see circuits without a bias resistor ...

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 major breakthrough came in 1947, when John Baden, William Shockley and Watter Brattain of Bell labs unveiled the first functioning point contact Germanium transistor ... terminals which otherwise ...

Germanium is very similar to silicon, but when one layer is grown on top of the other to form the base of the transistor, the resulting transistor can switch faster and yield higher performance.

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 ...

meet Red Witch’s Apothecary Series Guitars “We were able to up the gain and the volume on tap way past the levels we would normally get”: ThorpyFX’s Hanami fuzz pedal is packing NOS germanium, dynamic ...

In the case of the p-channel transistor, silicon germanium is now used instead of silicon to form the source and drain regions and to induce uniaxial compressive strain in the silicon channel ...
