Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon replacement in semiconductor technology. Yet much like a diamond exposed ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.
