In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

The act of a transistor changing its state from on to off or off to on. Also called a "transistor state change," the number of transistor toggles that take place within a computer, tablet or ...

An integrated circuit (IC) technique developed by Fairchild Instruments in 1959 that creates transistors on a flat surface compared to the uneven surface of the earlier mesa process. The planar ...
