N-MOS and P-MOS transistors are analogous respectively to NPN and PNP transistors but their conduction mechanism is based completely on one type of carrier: holes for the PMOS and electrons for the ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...

“Transistor characteristics in advanced technology nodes are strongly impacted by devices design and process integration choices. Variation in the layout and pattern configuration in close proximity ...

The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...
