How a modern transistor works:

Watch the full video on advanced semiconductor manufacturing at Intel:

the red block on top carries the whole diagram. one small voltage up there decides what the green part below lets through

great video, should do more of these

so they are GAA transistors?

Dwarkesh Edu in a year or so?

Modern translators works in the same way as vintage did :)

Tens of billions of these switches sit on one chip, and it works because each one does one boring job reliably! Some Strong teams are built the same way. ☀️

chips are tiny until you try explaining how they work

And the light that prints them comes from tin droplets hit by a laser 50,000 times a second

man please next discussion should be on space plasm propulsion. please @dwarkesh_sp

I wonder if a transistor operates a billion times a second are the electrons able to clear out of the channel in time or do you need to attract them away electrically again?

Visuals 👌 Curious if you used Ai for these?

Love all the intel content. This is super interesting

Fear of the unknown Risk averse Perhaps... start with a clean slate and current tech and see what happens!
