Toward tinier transistors

(Phys.org) —The foundation of many, many modern electronic devices – including computers, smart phones, and televisions – is the silicon transistor. However, the shrinking of consumer electronics is driving researchers to investigate materials that can yield thinner transistors. At NSLS, researchers have used x-rays to probe the electronic behavior of a germanium-based transistor structure, yielding important information that will guide future studies of how to make transistors smaller.
