The Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer, was operational by 1944, utilizing vacuum tubes rather than transistors. Transistors were invented later, with the first practical transistor created at Bell Labs in 1947. Therefore, transistors were developed approximately three years after the Colossus was built.
Chares of Lindos made the Colossus of Rhodes.
Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.
The Colossus computers were made for the decoders in Bletchly Park to decode the Nazi messages in WWII. The Colossus of Rhodes was a bronze statue that served as a lighthouse in ancient Greece.
Transistors are made from semiconductor materials. Silicon transistors are currently the most common.COMMONSiliconGermaniumGallium-Arsenide (GaAs)Silcon-GermaniumGallium Nitride (GaN)DiamondRARE
Yes it is!
Transistors are made of materials. They have to be extracted and purified. This relies on chemistry and Materials Science.

COLOSSUS
The Colossus computer was originally made at the Post Office Research Station at Dollis Hill in London, then after checkout and testing dismantled and transported to Bletchley Park where it was reassembled. However once the Colossus was proven they began being made directly at Bletchley Park to eliminate the delay of assembly, disassembly, and reassembly.
The vast majority of all transistors are nearly pure silicon, with small amount of carefully added impurities.A small but significant number of transistors are mostly germanium.

This is the gallium arsenide - GaAs.
