  2. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

    A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.

  3. Single-electron transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-electron_transistor

    Schematic diagram of a single-electron transistor Left to right: energy levels of source, island and drain in a single-electron transistor for the blocking state (upper part) and transmitting state (lower part). The SET has, like the FET, three electrodes: source, drain, and a gate. The main technological difference between the transistor types ...

  4. Electronic component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_component

    A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. Field-effect transistors (FET) MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor FET) – by far the most widely manufactured electronic component (also known as MOS transistor) [ 6 ] [ 7 ]

  5. Semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device

    Another type of transistor, the field-effect transistor (FET), operates on the principle that semiconductor conductivity can be increased or decreased by the presence of an electric field. An electric field can increase the number of free electrons and holes in a semiconductor, thereby changing its conductivity.

  6. Band diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_diagram

    E F or μ: Although it is not a band quantity, the Fermi level (total chemical potential of electrons) is a crucial level in the band diagram. The Fermi level is set by the device's electrodes. For a device at equilibrium, the Fermi level is a constant and thus will be shown in the band diagram as a flat line. Out of equilibrium (e.g., when ...

  7. List of MOSFET applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MOSFET_applications

    MOSFET, showing gate (G), body (B), source (S), and drain (D) terminals. The gate is separated from the body by an insulating layer (pink).. The MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor) [1] is a type of insulated-gate field-effect transistor (IGFET) that is fabricated by the controlled oxidation of a semiconductor, typically silicon.

  8. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15. The number is sometimes followed by a letter, indicating that components are grouped or matched with each other, e.g. R17A, R17B. The IEEE 315 standard contains a list of Class Designation Letters to use for electrical and electronic ...

  9. Transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor

    The bipolar junction transistor, the first type of transistor to be mass-produced, is a combination of two junction diodes and is formed of either a thin layer of p-type semiconductor sandwiched between two n-type semiconductors (an n–p–n transistor), or a thin layer of n-type semiconductor sandwiched between two p-type semiconductors (a p ...
