Silicon
Yes, germanium was the only material used in transistors from when they were invented in 1947 until 1954 when the first successful silicon transistor was made. However the use of germanium still dominated transistors until the silicon mesa transistor was made commercially available by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1958. Development of the silicon planar transistor by Fairchild Semiconductor the next year ultimately made the integrated circuit possible. While almost all transistors today are silicon, there are still uses for germanium transistors so a few types are still made.
A transistor is an electronic component that has three terminals and is made of semiconductor material. It is used to amplify or switch electronic signals and power, playing a crucial role in modern electronic devices. Transistors can be found in various configurations, such as bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs).
The primary electrical component used for memory logic is the transistor. Transistors act as switches or amplifiers in digital circuits, enabling the storage and retrieval of binary data. In memory chips, such as SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory) and DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory), arrays of transistors are utilized to hold and manipulate data. Additionally, capacitors are used in DRAM to store charges representing bits of information.
Static RAM and dynamic RAM are two available types of computer RAM, or Random Access Memory. One advantage of static RAM is speed, while a disadvantage is cost. An advantage of dynamic RAM is storage space, while a disadvantage would be speed.
SRAM is less dense than DRAM because SRAM cells are made up of multiple transistors, typically 6 transistors per cell, which require more space compared to the single transistor used in DRAM cells. This extra space needed for each cell in SRAM makes it less dense in terms of storing data compared to DRAM.
Because of its structure, SRAM requires more transistors than DRAM in order to store memory. As such, DRAM can have up to six times the capacity of SRAM.
Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.
in DRAM there will be slightly more than 8 billion transistors (one per bit, plus address decode and support circuits)in SRAM there will be slightly more than 48 billion transistors (six per bit, plus address decode and support circuits)
Well, it can be either. There is DRAM (Dynamic random access memory) and SRAM (Static random access memory). DRAM is a much more simple and inexpensive type of memory, it only requires one transistor and capacitor per bit where as SRAM requires four transistors. However, SRAM is faster and uses much less power.

Typically SRAM is faster than DRAM. Because Static RAM requires anywhere from 4 to 6 transistors and some wiring.The memory never has to be refreshed. It's therefore faster than dynamic RAM. Because it has more parts, though it takes up more space on a memory chip, which gives the chip less memory and makes it more expensive.
Yes it is!
SRAM owns SRAM. SRAM also now owns Rock Shox, Avid and Truvativ through aquisitions.

Transistors are made of materials. They have to be extracted and purified. This relies on chemistry and Materials Science.
