Over on YouTube [DENKI OTAKU] runs us through how a 4-pin MOSFET works and what the extra Kelvin source pin does. A typical MOSFET might come in a 3-pin TO-247 package, but there are 4-pin variants ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

Abstract: This work reports the demonstration of AlN trench metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors (MOSFETs) on single-crystal AlN substrates, where the impacts of gate trench depth were investigated.

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...

After decades of domination by silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) is replacing it as the gold standard in high-voltage power electronics, including in traction inverters at the heart of electric vehicles ...

Your beloved pooch has a tendency to run off. It’s time to pay a visit to the vet to get her microchipped. On the morning of your appointment, the alarm on your smartphone wakes you up. The house is ...
