More on: Thin-film source-gated transistor promises denser circuits

Announced yesterday, researchers from Surrey and Cambridge universities and the National Research Institute in Rome have used thin-film source-gated transistor (SGT) to create compact analogue circuit building blocks that can be used on flexible substrates. Source-gated transistors – SGTs – are uni-polar – they only need n or p-type semiconductor, not both. The research team ...
