unusual facts about field effect transistor



Caswell, Northamptonshire

The GaAs Field effect transistor and the GaAs monolithic ic were invented and developed at Caswell, but what is probably less well known is that scientists on the site were working on silicon integrated circuit(ic) technology almost 18 months before Jack Kilby demonstrated the first working ic at Texas Instruments in Dallas.

Nanorod

Recent years, ZnO nanorods have been intensely used to fabricate nano-scale electronic devices, including field effect transistor, ultraviolet photodetector, Schottky diode, and ultra-bright light-emitting diode (LED).
