Transistor development history
On December 23, 1947, in the Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, three scientists—Dr. Bading, Dr. Brighton, and Dr. Shawley, experimented nervously and methodically. They are experimenting with amplifying sound signals with semiconductor crystals in conductor circuits. Three scientists were surprised to find that a small amount of current passing through the device they invented could control a much larger current flowing through the other part, thus producing an amplification effect. This device is a epoch-making achievement in the history of science and technology - transistor. Because it was invented on Christmas Eve, and it has such a huge impact on people's future life, it is called "a Christmas gift to the world." The three scientists thus won the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics.
[2] New research has found that a layer of corresponding material can be deposited outside the substrate at the outflow end of the transistor electron to form a semiconductor-cooled PN structure because the electron energy level of the N material is low and the electron energy level of the P material is high. When flowing through, it is necessary to draw heat from the substrate, which provides a good way for the heat dissipation of the transistor core. Because the heat taken away is proportional to the magnitude of the current, the industry also calls this the "electronic blood" cooling technology. The new cooling triodes are called N-PNP or NPN-P, depending on the polarity of the new material added.
Transistors promote and bring about a "solid state revolution," which in turn drives the semiconductor electronics industry worldwide. As a major component, it has been applied first and foremost in communication tools in a timely and universal manner, and has produced enormous economic benefits. Since transistors have completely changed the structure of electronic circuits, integrated circuits and large-scale integrated circuits have emerged, and the manufacture of high-precision devices such as high-speed electronic computers has become a reality.
