All-Spin Transistor with Built-In Memory
- Summary
- The basic building block for digital electronics is the transistor, which acts like an electronic switch and combines together to perform the digital logic on which electronics are based. The current standard for transistor design is complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, which uses the electric behavior of semiconductors to switch between charge based binary values. Logical ones or zeroes are represented by the presence or absence of an electrical charge at the transistor's input/output. Such devices require a continuous electric current to run thereby limiting their energy efficiency and scalability.
