Individual transistors made from carbon nanotubes are faster and more energy efficient than those made from other materials. Going from a single transistor to an integrated circuit full of transistors ...

On April 25, 1961, Fairchild Semiconductor co-founder Robert Noyce was issued patent No. 2981877 for his “semiconductor device-and-lead structure,” which would come to be known as the integrated ...

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the microprocessor. But developments in these semiconductor chips, which are the heart of every electronic device, continue with gusto. Researchers at UK-based ...

Forty years ago today, electronics and semiconductor trade newspaper Electronic News ran an advertisement for a new kind of chip. The Intel 4004, a $60 chip in a 16-pin dual in-line package, was an ...

What Is A Hybrid Integrated Circuit? A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) or a hybrid microcircuit, is a miniaturised electronic circuit that combines different electronic components on a single platform ...

Sunday, November 15 marked the 44th anniversary of the Intel 4004, which was the company's first commercially available microprocessor. The 4-bit microprocessor was used in the likes of calculators ...
