MOSFET
→
Silicon transistor
evolved from
MOSFET fabrication depends on established silicon materials, oxide layers, and surface control technologies. The MOSFET is another device structure in the silicon transistor lineage.
Planar process
→
Silicon transistor
evolved from
The planar process retains a protective silicon dioxide layer, improving manufacturing methods to address reliability problems at the surface junctions of silicon transistors.
Silicon transistor
→
Junction transistor
evolved from
Silicon materials and diffusion processes improved the high-temperature performance, leakage characteristics, and mass-manufacturing properties of junction transistors.
Transistorized computer
→
Silicon transistor
depends on
Transistor computers replace vacuum-tube logic with large numbers of discrete transistors, achieving smaller size, lower power consumption, and higher reliability.
