The microtubule transistor
I point out the similarity between the microtubule (MT) experiment reported by Priel et al [1] and the ZnO nanowire experiment of Wang et al [4]. It is quite possible that MTs are similar to a piezoelectric field effect transistor (PE-FET) for which the role of the control gate electrode is played by the piezo-induced electric field across the width of the MT walls and their elastic bending fea...
متن کاملThe resonant body transistor.
This paper introduces the resonant body transistor (RBT), a silicon-based dielectrically transduced nanoelectromechanical (NEM) resonator embedding a sense transistor directly into the resonator body. Combining the benefits of FET sensing with the frequency scaling capabilities and high quality factors (Q) of internal dielectrically transduced bar resonators, the resonant body transistor achiev...
متن کاملThe Invention of the Transistor
The invention of the transistor almost 50 years ago was one of the most important technical developments of this century. It has had profound impact on the way we live and the way we work. The first part of this paper covers the events that led to the discovery of the transistor effect and the invention of the point contact transistor in December of 1947. It continues with the development of th...
متن کاملThe Silicon Transistor: Personal Observations
25 Is the decades-long era of exponentially compounding improvements in the cost and performance of computing devices about to end? Can we sustain progress in information technology hardware by developing some new switching device that can be made smaller, faster, and cheaper than the silicon transistor? These were some of the questions raised by a panel session, “Looking Beyond Moore’s Law, A ...
متن کاملThe quantum interference effect transistor.
We give a detailed discussion of the quantum interference effect transistor (QuIET), a proposed device which exploits the interference between electron paths through aromatic molecules to modulate the current flow. In the off state, perfect destructive interference stemming from the molecular symmetry blocks the current, while in the on state, the current is allowed to flow by locally introduci...
