electrical signals [1]. Vacuum tubes had played an important role in the development of electronics before the advent of semiconductor transistor. In 1947, J. Brattain and W. Bardeen invented the first point contact junction transistor [2,3] and in 1948 W. Schokley proposed bipolar junction transistor (BJT) [4]. In 1951, W. Shockley invented junction field-effect transistor (JFET) [5]. JFET replaced the vacuum tube by a solid state device and found the path for smaller and cheaper electronic devices
William Shockley was born on February 13, 1910 in London, England. He is most famously noted for winning the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956. He won this for being the co-inventor of the transistor with John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain. Shockley’s parents were both Americans. His father, William Hillman Shockley, was a mining engineer born in Massachusetts. His mother, Mary Bradford, was a federal deputy surveyor of mineral lands. They returned to America when William was just a baby. They

Comparison between MOSFET And UTB SOI MOSFET Anuj Singh1, Abhisek Gupta1 , Gavish1 1Dronachraya college of Engineering, Gurgaon, India Abstract---The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET) is a type of transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals .It is a four-terminal device with source (S), gate (G), drain (D), and body (B) terminals. The MOSFET generally uses silicon as semiconductor choice but lately chemical compound os silicone and
The first transistor was demonstrated on Dec. 23, 1947, at Bell Labs by William Shockley. This new invention consisting of P type and N type semiconductive materials (in this case germanium) has completely revolutionized electronics. Transistors quickly replaced vacuum tubes in almost all applications (most notably those in discrete logic). Today when we think of transistors the first thing that comes to mind is computers. Advances in transistor technology and manufacturing processes as well as
and increased transistor density as technology scaled and manufacturing matured. Transistor count in leading microprocessors has doubled in each technology node, appropriately every 2 years. Factors that drove up transistor count are increasingly complex processing cores, integration of multiple levels of caches, and inclusion of system functions. The frequency of a Microprocessor has almost doubled every generation resulting in advanced circuit design and more efficient transistors.. Die size has
The only compound of silicon and carbon is silicon carbide (SiC), or carborundum. SiC is produced naturally as the mineral Moissanite, but this is extremely rare, SiC is not known as Terrestrial mineral, since it is only found in meteors. But it is Synthesized from quartz sand and graphite in a Scale However, it has occurred mass in the form of powder For use as an abrasive since 1893. As an abrasive, it has been Used for more than one hundred years in molars and many Other abrasive applications
The history of automobile audio dates back to the early 1900s. George Frost did the earliest car audio experimentation in 1922. The evolution of car radios began in the Transitone Th-1, in 1927. The first FM turner band in cars was introduced in 1952. In 1965 the 8-track player was introduced in Ford vehicles. In the early 1960’s, cassettes were introduced, but didn’t become popular until 1977. The FM band became more popular in the 1980s, and the first car compact disc players were introduced
The word "computer" was first recorded as being used in 1613 and was originally used to describe a human who performed calculations or computations. The definition of a computer remained the same which is an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. Until the end of the 19th century when people began to realize machines never get tired and can perform calculations much faster and more accurately than
ABSTRCT There is big deal of interest in silicon carbide (SiC) as an electronic material for high-voltage, high-power and high temperature applications. In this thesis, characteristics of Double gate vertical metal semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFET) fabricated on N/N+ 3C-SiC grown on N+ Si substrate are reported. The most intriguing electronic property of silicon carbide is that it is the only semiconductor material other than silicon that can have electronically passivated surface
