field-effect transistor: see transistor transistor, three-terminal, solid-state electronic device used for amplification and switching. It is the solid-state analog to the triode electron tube ; the transistor has replaced the electron tube for virtually all common applications. .....

Other researchers had shown that a straight carbon nanotube could act as a field-effect transistor (FET), the predominant type of transistor in today's microchips (SN: 5/9/98, p. He and his colleagues used a different architecture, known as a field-effect transistor, to make their now-dethroned 562-GHz device. Welser and the NRI will be to develop an information element that can replace the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (CMOS FET) in the year 2020 or beyond, as well as the necessary technology to integrate the new information element with CMOS. |
