- Semiconductor Manufacturing
How chipmaking scaled from purified crystals in 1951 to nanosheet transistors in 2025, through planar processing, photolithography, specialized foundries and new materials.
- Transistor
The transistor, from Julius Lilienfeld's 1925 field-effect patent and the 1947 point-contact device at Bell Labs through junction transistors, the MOSFET and integrated circuits to FinFETs and gate-all-around nanosheet transistors in volume production in 2025.
