Where was the transistor discovered?

The transistor was not discovered, it was invented.The first patent for a transistor was filed in Canadaon October 22, 1925. The device was a FET and although some prototypes apparently worked the device was never commercialized and sold.The first practical transistor was invented on November 17, 1947 at Bell Labs while attempting to recreate the FET. However this device was a bipolar point contact transistor instead. Early in 1948 another researcher at Bell Labs invented the BJT. Both point contact and BJT types of transistors were rapidly commercialized by Bell Labs and sold by many companies.The first practical FET was invented in 1953 at Bell Labs.


Who developed the first transistor?

The first computer (a mechanical analog computer) is believed to have been invented circa 100BC by Archimedes.The first digital computer (a mechanical computer) was invented about 1837 by Charles Babbage.The first electronic digital computer was invented in 1937 by John Vincent Atanasoff.The first integrated circuit (a hybrid device) was invented between 1949 and 1951 independently by Werner Jacobi, Geoffrey W. A. Dummer, and several others; however the first working units had to be built with sockets for special miniaturized vacuum tubes, it was only late in the 1950s that transistors replaced the tubes in these devices.The first monolithic integrated circuit was invented in 1958 by Jack Kilby, this germanium device was not very practical to manufacture and never went beyond prototype development.The first practical monolithic integrated circuit was invented independently in 1959 by Robert Noyce, this silicon device was rapidly improved on.The first transistor (a germanium point contact transistor) was invented in 1947 by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain.The first junction transistor (a germanium grown junction transistor) was invented in 1948 by William Shockley.


Who was the transistor invented for?

The transistor is a replacement for vacuum tubes, which is smaller, cheaper, and more reliable for most purposes.


Which event most led to a reduction in the size and cost of computers?

The invention of the transistor was the first big event to lower cost and size. This was followed by the invention of the integrated circuit, which led to CPUs, GPUs, etc. cw: The first transistor invented was MUCH larger than the new miniature tubes, invented by GE.


When FET is invented and who invented it?

Field Effect Transistor (FET) was invented in 1926 by Julius E. Lilienfeld.
