Integrated circuit processes are characterized by the feature size, which is the minimum size of a transistor or a wire in either the x or y dimension. Feature sizes have decreased from 10 microns in 1971 to 0.09 microns in 2006; in fact, we have switched units, so production in 2006 is now referred to as "90 nanometers," and 65 nanometer chips are underway. Since the transistor count per quare millimeter of silicon is determined by the surface area of a transistor, the density of transistors increases quadratically with a linear decrease in feature size.

How the size of transistor reduced to place in a single pocessor?
transistor size depends on its channel length, that is the length of the region in which a transistor act as an electron tube. the shorter the region, the lowest the resistance, the fastest the transistor, etc... so, it is always good to scale transistor size. problem is that you have to apply a 'good' electrical field in the channel, in order to drive a good 'ON' or 'OFF' state for your transistor. that's why it's not easy to scale their size.
What is the size of a transistor?
10-20 nanometers
What circumstances led to the invention of the transistor in 1947?
before the invention of transistor,thyristor was used instead of transistor but thyristor produces more heat in the circuit and size is more when compared to transistor
How was transistor shrunk further?
A: The transistor has not changed practically the same size what has changed is the packaging and the technology of mapping substrates
What effect did the transistor have on technology?
It reduced the size of electronic appliances
Can a casting draft deviate from the dimensioal size of a feature?
Can A casting draft can deviate from the dimensional size of a given feature
How large is a transistor on an integrated circuit compared to a hair?
A transistor on an integrated circuit is typically around 14 nanometers in size, while a human hair is about 50,000-100,000 nanometers thick. This means that a transistor is much smaller than a human hair by several orders of magnitude.
What is Si transistor?
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
What are the two classifications of dimensions?
The two classifications of dimensions are Size Dimensions, and Location Dimensions. Size Dimensions are placed in direct relationship to a feature to identify the specific size. Location Dimensions are used to identify the relationship of a feature to another feature in an object.
Is active is a cutoff region of transistor?
The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.
What is the purpose of the Unijunction Transistor?
A Unijunction Transistor is a transistor that acts solely as a switch.
What are the Similar transistor for 221334 PNP transistor?
Similar to a 2N3906 PNP transistor
