at this time it is metal oxide field effect transistor. 20 years ago it was mostly bipolar junction transistor, 45 years ago it was point contact or surface barrier transistor. before that it was vacuum tubes and germanium point contact diodes.
in the future it may be nanotube field effect transistors, or even DNA logic. both would probably be operating in a thin film of some liquid which would have to be encapsulated.

Which computer generation used transistor in it?
The Second Generation Computer used transistors
Is Vcc notation used only in a transistor circuit?
Vcc is used in bipolar transistor circuitsVdd is used in field effect transistor circuitsB+ is used in vacuum tube circuits
What is mining of transistor?
A transistor is a device used to switch power between electrical components. Transistors work to amplify existing signals as well as open and close circuits.
Transistor works as an amplifier?
Yes, transistors can be used as amplifiers, but they are not limited to only this use (they are also used in logic circuits, for example).
Why are transistors used in circuits?
The two main functions of a transistor are: (a) signal amplification, and (b) solid-state switching.
What are you need for second generation computer science?
in second generation of computer transistor were used transistor are used instead of vaccum tube are used in first generation high level langauges such as gobsl, fortran are used
Why is Boolean algebra used in computer systems?
The circuitry that makes up the inner workings of a computer comes from transistor type circuits. These transistor circuits are configured to have only two states. For example, their output voltage might be either 5 volts or 0 volts. Because there are only two output states possible, it's very convenient to use Boolean logic to design these circuits since you can represent each state by a one(1) or zero(0), a 'Yes' or 'No', or a 'True' or 'False,' thereby able to easily exploit the Boolean operators.
What is the application of TTL in integrated circuits?
Transistor transistor logic is one type of many different types of bipolar transistor based digital logic circuitry. It is very efficiently implemented in integrated circuit chips, needs only one power supply voltage, and operates at reasonably high speeds. Transistor transistor logic was first developed in the middle 1960s as a modification of the diode transistor logic, then in use in some digital logic integrated circuit chips but dating back to the earliest discrete bipolar transistor logic developed in the late 1950s and derived from vacuum tube point contact diode logic used in many early first generation computers. Transistor transistor logic integrated circuits dominated the computer and electronic digital controller market from the late 1960s until the middle 1980s, when metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor based microprocessors and microcontrollers began to replace it. By the early 1990s transistor transistor logic and other bipolar transistor based digital logic integrated circuits had been replaced with equivalent complementary metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor integrated circuits that were both faster and consumed less power (thus running much cooler) or with programmable logic devices of various types. In general transistor transistor logic is now considered obsolete.
How did integrated circuits help in the development of computer?
Those made it possible to build components much cheaper, to put lots of components into a tiny space (modern ICs have the equivalent of billions of transistors; in the past, each transistor used to be a separate component); and to work with a very low power consumption per transistor.
What is FET?
FET is abbreviation of Field Effect Transistor. This is a transistor in which current is controlled by voltage only and no current is drawn. It is a high input impedence device and is used in computers, telecommunication and control circuits. This transistor is better in certain parameters as compared to BJT, that is Bipolar Junction Transistor.
What 2 elements are used in computer circuits?
they are co md
What is the significance of dc load line in a transistor?
A load line is used in graphic analysis of circuits, having both linear and non-linear parts, representing the constraint the other parts of the circuit put on the non-linear transistor. It represents the response of the linear circuit connected to the transistor. The DC load line describes the DC operation of a transistor graphically.
