Building logic gates out of silicon is old hat, as is building them from discrete transistors, 555 chips, LEGO, and even gears. [Yukio-Pegio Gunji] and [Yuta Nishiyama] from Kobe University ...

You guessed it, diodes can also be used to build logic gates, but not all of them, only the AND and OR gates can be built using diodes only. However, by adding a transistor as an active element ...

A collection of transistors and resistors that implement Boolean logic operations in a digital circuit. Logic gates have one or two 0 or 1 inputs but only one 0 or 1 output as in the following ...

Box 1: Criteria for practical optical logic. The electronic transistor and the logic gates based on it have qualitative features that are crucial for systems of any complexity, but very few ...

Transistors wired in series and parallel patterns make up "gates," which accept binary input (0 = no pulse; 1 = pulse) and generate binary output. Although AND requires both inputs to be 1 in ...

This operational principle is key to processing binary code (0 signifies blocked current, 1 allows current to pass through) in logic circuits including inverters, gates, adders, and memory cells.

In its most basic form, a computer is a collection of powered and unpowered circuits and transistors. A logic gate is a series of transistors connected together to give one or more outputs ...

This limits the maximum numbers of transistors that can be integrated into a single silicon chip. In 1963, Frank Wanlass and C.T.Sah of Fairchild unveiled the first logic gate in which n-channel and p ...

Carbon nanotube transistors are finally making progress for potential use in advanced logic chips after nearly a quarter century in R&D. The question now is whether they will move out of the lab and ...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors are essentially gate-all-around (GAA ... TPU with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor ...
