Image source computing 101 Transistors are commonly featured in digital electronics. One of the key application areas of transistors is in digital electronics is in the making of logical circuits. As the name suggests, these are electric circuits that are designed for performing and executing logical operations. All logical operations are based on the concept…
Image source Medium When buying transistors, one of the parameters that you should check out is the operating temperature. This is the temperature range at which the transistor is expected to perform to the optimum levels. The range usually defines the transistor’s maximum and minimum temperature requirements. What will happen when I use the transistor…
Image source Physics and Radio Electronics An integrated circuit is an electronic component whose main body is made of semiconductor material. The name ‘integrated’ is mainly because it comprises of different small electronic components that have been brought together to function as a unit. These components include many transistors among other vital components such as…
Image source Pixabay You are building an electric circuit and one of the components that you will need is a transistor. Probably more than one transistor. Buying a transistor may sound like an easy task to do, but in reality, it is not. There are many types of transistors and each type has a unique…
Image source Freepik Semiconductor manufacturing is attributed to 31% of the global emission. This includes the manufacturing of the semiconductor parts. The sad bit is this trend is likely to go up over the years unless some drastic measures are taken to avert the situation. Going by the data from the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP),…
Image source freepik Semiconductors move the world. You can’t imagine a world without them. We will not have even the basic electronics such as calculators. Let alone digital electronic such as computers, smartphones and other home appliances. Factories, transport tools, medical tools, defense equipment and many others heavily depend on the semiconductor chips. What are…
Image source Freepik The semiconductor industry has been experiencing steady growth and as well as challenges in the recent years. We have seen many innovations in the world of technology and electronic devices over the years. Al of these devices need semiconductor chips to function. At the hearts of the semiconductor chips are the electronic…
Image source Freepik In the semiconductor industry, there is always the need or demand to manufacture the best semiconductor chips. In fact, this is not something that can be negotiated given the role of the chips in today’s world. They are used in running every aspect of our lives and so they need to be…
Image source Freepik Take an inside look at any electronic device. You will be able to see several semiconductor chips. These chips are responsible for running everything in the device. These functions include power management, memory management, data management, security, control process among other functions The semiconductors have parts or components that enable them to…
Image source freepik The recent semiconductor chip shortage revealed some deep challenges in and out of the industry. Some of the problems come from the electronic components used on the semiconductor chips. When it comes to manufacturing semiconductor chips, sourcing for the components is among the very first steps of production. It comes after the…
